About

This is one of my favorite noodle dishes. It looks so similar to traditional spaghetti at first glance, yet it’s worlds apart upon closer examination. Traditional spaghetti dinners are made with calorie-dense, gluten-filled noodles, topped with from-a-jar marinara sauce and sprinkled with cheese. This spaghetti dinner is made with zucchini noodles, a simple sauce from fresh tomatoes, and sprinkled with a nut-and-nutritional yeast topping. It’s guilt free.

The guilt-free factor may be what first prompts you to attempt this recipe, but the taste is what’s going to draw you back to it time and time again.

Note: For the first time in 100 years, our children’s life expectancies are declining due to the increase in obesity. How will you make a difference with the kids in your life?
