My 2 cents on pasta

I love spaghetti. I grew up on spaghetti. So when I realized that it isn't the best for me, we switched to Whole Wheat pasta, which was a step better. Then when I realized I might be getting too much gluten I switched it to Brown Rice pasta. Now when I want to save my carbs for other things I learned about zucchini noodles. Ding,ding, ding! I found a winner!

SO this is what I think if you want spaghetti:

Bad: white pasta

Good: whole wheat pasta

Better: Brown Rice pasta or gluten free ones

Best: zucchini noodles

I just had my husband try it today, and he said"not bad, I could totally do that." If you are still doing white, try the step up, and go from there. For me, I noticed when I cut back on gluten products, I felt much better in my stomach. I am not saying I am 100% gluten free, I just eat less of it then I did before.

So what is zucchini noodles? Its actual zucchini that you cut up to be your noodles. I have experiment with this for a while and I finally got it right, so I will share with you.

Being that zucchini season is around the corner, it will give you one more way to do zucchini.

1. wash your zucchini, and dry it off with a paper towel.

2. Use a mandoline, or I use the julienne slicer from pampered chef and slice

3. put a tbsp of olive oil in a pan med high heat

4. add noodles sprinkle some salt and pepper
5. cook and stir until limp like regular noodles.. Voila!
