Sometimes the greatest meals come about when you are trying to use up leftovers. That is exactly what happened with this Creamy Mushroom Zucchini Pasta. Have you tried zucchini pasta? It’s so good and much lower in carbs. I use my Spiralizer to make my zucchini pasta. I just love that thing! You can make pasta out of all kinds of veggies. I have made pasta from sweet potatoes, beets and cucumbers so far. So good!
I went a little overboard on the sauce with mine. 🙂 However, I decreased it in the recipe, so you shouldn’t have the same issue. Either way this is delish! This is a super easy recipe that only takes a few minutes to make. If you wanted to boost the protein, you can add in whatever protein you like.
You can see how easy a spiralizer is to use by watching this short video.
