Zucchini Pasta

This past winter, I did a lot of cooking with spaghetti squash. It’s a great gluten-free substitute for pasta that’s also fewer carbs…a win-win. Plus, there’s something about eating a meal of veggies that makes me feel like I deserve that glass of wine with it. Yep, another win-win ha! So, with summer approaching fast, it’s time for the other veggie pasta option, zucchini pasta! Simple to make and great for you, this dish let’s you pack in veggies and protein for a light, summer dinner. Pour that glass of wine and enjoy!
