Low carb spaghetti and other carbohydrate reduced pasta are available as a convenience product. I’ve never tried it. There is a delicious alternative: spaghetti from zucchini. By the way the zucchini pasta can be produced in five minutes.
The idea to make pasta from zucchini came by my julienne peeler. The first time when I used it to peel a cucumber, I have discovered to come narrow stripes looking like spaghetti. They are similar in consistency.
Ingredients:
Zucchini, water, salt
Preparation method:
Wash the zucchini with plenty of water, peel the skin of the zucchini (also with the julienne peeler). Make long ways narrow stripes of the skinless zucchini with the julienne peeler. If you have a big zucchini stop the peeling when you reached the core. The low carb spaghetti subsequently blanched in salt water or vegetable stock for about 3 minutes. Dress the low carb spaghetti with a sauce of your choice. What these low carb pasta makes so interesting for me, is just 19 kcal of 100 g, therefore you can use much more sauce without any repentance.
