Traditional pasta is delicious but super high in carbohydrates. While some days are worth saving some carbs for a spaghetti dinner or ramen noodles, sometimes we turn to vegetables for our noodle fix. This is a wonderful recipe to make a big batch of and to use throughout the week for meal prep and you can even add some chopped up grilled chicken breast for protein. There’s tons of flavor and fiber to keep you fueled and happy.
You’ll need a spiralizer for this recipe, in order to create long, noodle strands out of zucchini. If you don’t already have one, it’s a great tool that makes low-carb noodles quickly and is very inexpensive on Amazon. The addition of roasted asparagus to this “veggie pasta” is simply bonus. Enjoy!
