Wheatless Zoodles Recipes

Carb-Replacing Vegetable Pasta Dishes are Healthy and Delicious

A person might not realize that they can opt for a zoodles recipe over a noodles one when it comes to pasta dishes for lunch or dinner. After all, 'zoodles' is a term that is only starting to get traction now. A delicious and healthy alternative to the more traditional carb-heavy ingredient, it's nevertheless just as satisfying. Similar to spaghetti squash, this zoodles recipe is also great for those suffering from celiac disease and are intolerant to gluten.

Topped with teriyaki seasoning, Michele Henry of The Toronto Star writes, "The dressing, light, flavourful and, because of the honey, slightly sweet, helps trick the brain into believing this salad is a meaty pasta entrée." This zoodles recipe is a fresh option for summer.
