This week’s recipe was a tough decision since I have three amazing ones that I can’t wait to share. The ‘zoodles’ however were the frontrunner and I couldn’t wait to pass this along. The epitome of a healthy and clean dish this is one of my favorite new recipes and I can promise it’ll be made over and over again. We picked up the veggetti over the weekend and it’s the neatest kitchen gadget, easily creating ’spaghetti’ strands with fresh zucchini. I also can’t wait to try carrots, potatoes and squash through it. Just call this your new favorite summer dish.

I’d love to try this!! We recently started eating spaghetti squash in the place of pasta so zuchinni is next up!!
i need to buy one of those gadgets to make zucchini noodles because this is amazing.
The Veggetti! That is hilarious and so awesome. BB&B is the best and they have everything. What a perfect dish and I think I need to try it. I love zucchini!
I’ve been wanting to get one of these! Glad to know it’s worth it. I’ll have to get one!
I saw this recipe (or similar) on Pinterest and pinned it. My bf doesn’t eat bread/pasta, so this would be a great alternative for both of us!
This looks SO good! I’ve been looking for a product to make the veggie “noodles” so I’ll have to pick up the Veggetti this week – thanks for the recommendation!
I love using zucchini to make pasta! Sometimes we use half gluten free pasta and half zucchini and it is just delicious. I can’t wait to try this recipe, I love shrimp!!
This is one of my favorite recipes to make! Sooooo yummy!
I love zucchini and don’t have a spiralizer, so I’ll have to figure out plan B to get this together (maybe a veggie peeler? ideas?).
Only $15?! I’ll have to pick one up so soon!
These zucchini noodles look amazing!! I’m going to need to get a Veggetti – and for $15 you can’t really beat that!!
This looks so yummy! What a great alternative to pasta- so much lighter for summer! Can’t wait to try this out!
I have to try this one. Looks yummy!
