Recipe: Summer Squash Pasta

Using zucchini or squash as your pasta is a delicious way to add vegetables to your diet. Not to mention, you can eat an ENORMOUS bowl of zucchini or squash noodles for the same number of calories as a small bowl of standard noodles. It also means that you can get fancy with the toppings, i.e. pine nuts, parmesan etc., if you are so inclined.
When I make zoodles (zucchini noodles), I use the Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer. By using zucchini noodles instead of normal pasta, like this recipe calls for, you save hundreds of calories and get an extra serving veggies!
