While I used my zucchini noodles to make pesto zoodles, you can swap them for pretty much any pasta dish for an instant upgrade. One 540-calorie serving of this recipe provides 50g of protein, 25g of fat and 24g of net carbs. Adding zoodles to your diet is the perfect way to take advantage of the nutrient-rich goodness of the zucchini and get an added boost of vitamins and minerals into your day!īest of all, zoodles are super versatile. Compare two cups of pasta weighing in at 480. Zucchini also boasts tons of vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium. Zuckerbrot makes a good argument, especially considering that, from a caloric and carbohydrate perspective, the swap is an inarguable health upgrade. Compare that to regular spaghetti, which has 220 calories and 43 grams of carb per cup, and it’s pretty clear which one is the winner here. Which makes it a very friendly veg to low carb dieters Zucchini is also high in Vitamin B6. One cup of zucchini noodles, for example, has just 20 calories and less than 4 grams of carbs. One cup of sliced zucchini contains 2.4g net carbs (Source: USDA). Eating zucchini in noodle form can also be a textural delight but only if. Zoodles are perfect if you’re looking to cut calories or carbohydrates. And with only 19 calories and 3.5 grams of net carbs per cup, you can feel great about eating it to your heart’s content. Well everyone, it’s safe to say that there were no leftovers after I whipped up these scrumptious pesto zoodles–aka zucchini noodles.įlavorful pesto, juicy tomatoes and zucchini noodles…it was a hit! While I like zucchini, would I really like it in my pasta? And how good can any pasta that’s supposedly “heathy” really be? To be totally honest, I wasn’t sure how I would actually like it, though. Cook for 2 minutes, continiously stirring. Sprinkle the zoodles with the garlic salt. More pasta, more veggies…it’s a win-win, right? Or, buy a pre-spiralized package Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. I had been meaning to try spiralizing for months. I’m always on the hunt for ways to sneak more veggies into my day and the spiralizer seemed like the perfect solution. Zoodles - Zucchini Noodles - only have about 5 net grams of carbs per one-cup serving, while Regular noodles can have a whopping 40 grams net carbs per. Inside was a spiralizer, aka the gadget that I’m pretty sure will change how I eat pasta for ever. My world was changed earlier this week with the arrival of a little cardboard Amazon box outside my door.
