Making noodles and colorful ribbons of vegetables is fun & delicious!

If you love pasta, but are trying to be gluten-free or low-carb or just want ways to eat more vegetables, get yourself a spiralizer. I’m having a blast getting creative with my new favorite kitchen contraption. Seriously, I’ve created fresh salads and a variety of noodle dishes using spiralized zucchini, carrots, beets and sweet potatoes of course. 

If you don’t have a spiralizer and want to try this, many supermarkets are offering spiralized sweet potato and other spiralized vegetables like zucchini. I’m very fortunate, because when I get lazy (and it does happen from time to time) my neighborhood Kings Food Market has my back with their Kings Own product line.

Green Diva Lisa and I recently had a bit of fun up in Green Diva Studio north (Portland, Maine) making a savory spiralized sweet potato pasta dish. It’s all relatively quick and easy once you get into the swing of spiralizing.
