I honestly would prefer this over pasta. My mom and I felt as though we had indulged in a high carbohydrate, high calorie meal. If you are craving a pasta dish, try substituting the pasta for zucchini noodles and see how you like it! As for spiraling the zucchini, I have added a $5 spiralizer to my eBay collections (link in side bar). It works great,there is no need to spend $30 on one that gets the same job done!
