]]> If you’re super into pasta but also trying to watch what you eat, don’t fret—there’s a solution. A whole bunch of them! Modern-day grocery stores offer multiple alternatives to traditional pasta that are more nourishing and less calorie-dense. Let’s explore some favorites. 

Zucchini Noodles (or Zoodles)

Zucchini noodles—or ‘Zoodles’, if you’re on a nickname basis—are a great replacement for pasta. They contain more vitamins and antioxidants and fewer calories and carbs. Honestly, what more can you ask?

Shirataki Noodles

Okay, don’t get too excited, but what if someone told you there’s a noodle replacement that is basically calorie-free? Well, Shirataki noodles sort of are. Based on konjac root, these noodles contain only 9 calories per 100 grams, and their texture is very similar to the one of traditional noodles. If you just fell in love, it’s only natural.

Bean-Based Pasta

There are various bean-based pasta options, from black bean and chickpea to lentil and edamame – and they’re all a Weight Watcher’s dream. They’re not bad at all at mimicking the shape, texture, and flavor of traditional pasta, and they contain nice amounts of fiber and protein and a lot less calories.

]]> Have you been struggling to come up with new ideas for side dishes lately? Well, don’t fret, because the possibilities are endless and we’re here to suggest a simple, nutritious, and delicious option that you are sure to love: garlic-sauteed zucchini.

Here’s how to make it yourself!

Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Instructions

First, you will want to wash your zucchini and slice it into pieces that are between a quarter and a half-inch thick.

Next, melt the butter in a large skillet on medium-low heat on your stove. Once you’ve done this, add the zucchini slices to the skillet and then add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper and saute for 5-10 minutes. You’ll want to wait until the zucchini is soft and transparent.

Just before taking the skillet off of the heat, add the parmesan cheese and stir in to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the zucchini.

Allow to cool for a few minutes, and then serve and enjoy!
