Rhea's Rundown
Get your pasta fix in the healthiest way with these fun and delicious vegetable noodles. This is a fantastically fresh dish that’s packed with nutrition ought to you by the Super Sisters (see Website of the Week). Besides the abundance of veggies, this dish is minimally seasoned and is cooked in coconut oil, which has tons of health benefits. With the help of a spiral slicer (see the Kitchen Tool of the Week) you can have this dish ready in just 10-15 minutes! I added a little basil to mine and used heirloom tomatoes in the place of roma tomatoes. The Super Sisters recommend the Brieftons Spiral Slicer, which I found on Amazon for $10. As you can see in this week’s column, I purchased a different spiral slicer, but it wasn’t able to slice the carrots. Nonetheless the meal was extremely enjoyable and best of all, it left me feeling satisfied, which meant no late-night cravings for junk.
