I just love all kinds of pasta recipes. And everything would be just fine if there weren‘t all these nasty carbs. So I happily present you Zoodles. Noodles made out of a zucchini - so we can enjoy our pasta in the evening now aswell without regrets. Yeah, I admit I am one of these crazy women who try to avoid carbs in the evening. It works for me. So I am always on the look-out for tasty low carb versions.
In this recipe I also used some carrots along with the zucchini to make pasta out of it. Tastes delicious! But let me give you one tip - make sure to add the veggie pasta not until the end of the cooking, otherwhise they overcook and you have a really sad mashup on your plate :-)
I haven't cooked this for my family yet but after trying it today I am pretty sure they will love it! My mom is a complete zucchini lover (which i never understood when I was younger) so I am going to surprise her with this dish next time my parents are coming over to see hubby and me. Yes, my husband just has to go through all this carrot and zucchini day - I am sure there will be a mannly ice-cold beer in the fridge for him ;-)
