If you’re like 99.999% of those considering low-carb eating, you’ll have one very pressing question.  Along with a hint of panic in your voice you’ll ask…

“How will I live without my bread and pasta Doc!”

Good question…I’ll tackle the pasta this week and bring on the low-carb bread alternatives in a future post.

Here’s a simple visual tutorial on making my favorite low-carb alternative for pasta.

Today, I’ll use zucchini to make “zoodles“.  I’m going with a spaghetti cut.  Most spiralizers have different blade options.  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…it is delish!!).

 
The whole process takes less time than making traditional pasta.  No waiting for the water to boil, nor time spent wondering, “Is it done yet!?!”
 
Here’s a quick video demo from yours truly.
