\u201cHow will I live without my bread and pasta Doc!\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good question\u2026I\u2019ll tackle the pasta<\/strong> this week and bring on the low-carb bread<\/strong> alternatives in a future<\/strong> post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a simple visual tutorial<\/strong> on making my favorite low-carb alternative for pasta<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I\u2019ll use zucchini<\/strong> to make \u201czoodles<\/strong>\u201c.  I\u2019m going with a spaghetti<\/strong> cut.  Most spiralizers have different blade options<\/strong>.  Mine has a tiny shredder (for angel hair type noodles), a medium shredder (for spaghetti type noodles) and a spiral slicer (for wide noodles, we use them for making Low Carb Beef Stroganoff\u2026it is delish!!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
1\/ Choose straight and thick zucchinis\u2026the curved ones don\u2019t work as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
2\/ Slice off the least amount from each end.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
3\/ Pan fry some garlic in olive oil. Once browned, turn off the heat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
4\/ Place the zucchini smack in the middle of the spiked side and the slicing side (metal circular core).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
5\/ Turn the handle 5-6 rounds and cut off the zoodles. And voila! A delicious alternative to pasta. Full of fiber and minerals!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
6\/ Toss your zoodles in the garlic\/olive oil mix. And voila! A delicious alternative to pasta. Full of fiber and minerals!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
7\/ Add your protein of choice\u2026my go-to is a rotisserie chicken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
8\/ One of our favorite busy weeknight meals\u2026Chicken Zoodles Alfredo with Caprese Bites.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 The whole process takes less time than making traditional pasta.  No waiting for the water to boil, nor time spent wondering, \u201cIs it done yet!?!\u201d Here\u2019s a quick video demo<\/a> from yours truly. Some options for purchasing a spiralizer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
