My fine fiancee’ Louise, loves her cooking gadgets and her recent purchase of a Spiralizer enabled us to have what ostensibly looks and tastes like spaghetti but minus the calories and insulin spike from the refined carbohydrates. Many vegetables such as zucchini can be literally turned into turned into faux pasta in a matter of moments.
Louise very cleverly made a faux spaghetti pesto and garlic dish, faux spaghetti bolognese and an awesome faux spaghetti marinara. She used zucchinis in the Spiralizer to create these tasty meals.
*You can purchase inexpensive Spiralizers very easily via good old ebay…
I have always liked using eggs via omelettes to mimic pastry bases on pizzas as well the flour based crepes. So my strawberry faux crepe made from eggs instead of flour is again a taste sensation but minus all those unwanted carbs.
The faux pizzas are also great with the egg derived omelette base and whatever toppings you desire like tomato, cheese, olives, mushrooms, spring onions, anchovies, capsicums, etc.
As I always like to say, clean eating be it pre-contest dieting or just watching your carb intake to try and shed some unwanted body fat, doesn’t need to be bland nor boring!!
