I have been low-carb dieting on and off for years. These days the popular Keto diet is the way to go. Finding recipes that are actually something you desire can be tough. I started making this dish a couple of months ago and now I literally make it every week. My family, who are not low carbing has requested it over and over! You know when they would rather have zucchini over pasta the dish is a winner!

The recipe is super easy to put together. You can use fresh zucchini and make them into zoodle spirals with a spiralizer or my new favorite Green Giant Veggie Spirals Zucchini. The Green Giant veggie zoodles are in the vegetable freezer section of the grocery store. You better stock up because the frozen version is just a good as fresh and they go fast. Here’s the recipe!
