Creamy Zucchini Noodles Alfredo
Indulgent, Creamy Zucchini Noodles Alfredo, ready in just a few minutes! Loads of flavor thanks to the fresh mushrooms and garlic!
Throw in some grilled chicken, shrimp, or steak and you’ve got a protein-packed, lower carb meal that you will absolutely CRAVE!
I DO NOT eat a “Low Carb diet” personally, but I do enjoy lower-carb meals here and there ESPECIALLY in the heat of the summer.
It’s almost full-on ZUCCHINI SEASON here in Utah!
Do you have zucchini growing in your garden? If not, zucchini is now in-season, super abundant and VERY inexpensive at the Farmer’s Markets throughout mid-late Summer…that’s if your neighbors don’t leave a big bag of it on your front porch as mine often do here in Utah. 🤗
➡️Did you know:
Zucchini has quite an impressive nutritional scoreboard – from high levels of potassium, B-vitamins, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, all which offer huge benefits to our overall health.
It’s shown that eating zucchini regularly in place of processed carbohydrates (such as pasta) can even help regulate our blood sugar levels, which can greatly benefit diabetics.
Eating zucchini several times each week, in place of processed carbs, can also help us with our weight loss & health goals.
Zucchini is extremely low in calories but gives us the feeling of being full. Therefore, it is a great way to satisfy our appetites without grabbing lots of empty calories or carbs.
➡️ Another tip:
If you have issues with soggy zucchini, you can sprinkle your zucchini slices with a little salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then blot moisture with paper towels. This can help prevent sogginess in your finished dish.
🥛Use ANY unsweetened/plain milk of your choice. My personal favorite for this dish is unsweetened coconut milk or cashew milk.
Any unsweetened nut milk, coconut milk, or high-quality grass-fed cow’s milk/cream all work really well here. Use what you personally like and have on hand.
