Creamy Courgette Noodles With Crispy Bacon

“Mommy, I don’t want zucchini!” How many times have you heard that?
Zucchini noodles aka. zoodles are also known as courgette spaghetti aka. courgette.
Don’t know how to replace pasta?
Zoodles are a great way to slip in some veggies in our diet and pretend we’re eating carbs, especially when it comes to children who just want sweet, instant food.
Zoodles have few calories, little carbs, and no gluten; they are easy to use in many recipes to replace regular noodles and are quick to make.
Zoodles also got vitamin A and C, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and potassium.
Zucchinis are typically used as a garnish, but zoodles will make them the centerpiece of the meal.
First, we’ll deal with cleaning the zucchini. Wash thoroughly and trim the ends off. Skin can be left on or peeled off; it’s all down to your preference.
The next step is to carve the vegetable into noodle-shaped spirals.
Set your zucchini sideways and then pick up your spiralizer (a tool for hand-making noodles, which can be bought at the store).
Push the claw into the opposite end of the vegetable so it doesn’t move.
Turn the handle and lightly press so the zucchini is fed into the blades that will grate it.
Just keep going and the zucchini will be gone, leaving tons of zoodles in its wake.
After that, you can make them just like regular pasta.

11 Foods to Avoid When Trying to Lose Weight

Resim
1. French Fries and Potato Chips Whole potatoes are healthy and filling, but french fries and potato chips are not. They are very high in calories, and it’s easy to eat way too many of them. In observational studies, consuming French fries and potato chips has been linked to weight gain (4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source). One study even found that potato chips may contribute to more weight gain per serving than any other food (5Trusted Source). What’s more, baked, roasted or fried potatoes may contain cancer-causing substances called acrylamides. Therefore, it’s best to eat plain, boiled potatoes  SUMMARY French fries and potato chips are unhealthy and fattening. On the other hand, whole, boiled potatoes are very healthy and help fill you up. 2. Sugary Drinks Sugar-sweetened beverages, like soda, are one of the unhealthiest foods on the planet. They are strongly associated with weight gain and can have disastrous health effects when consumed in excess (8Trusted S
