Chicken Alfredo Zoodles

An easy way to eliminate poor food choices from your diet is by replacing them with healthy options. This ensures you don’t feel like you’re missing out, or doing without, but that you’re simply making a healthier choice.

An excellent way to do this that’s very simple and easy, is by replacing pasta with zoodles. That’s what I did in my Chicken Alfredo Zoodles recipe, and is delicious! It’s full of so many flavors and you don’t feel like you’re missing out on pasta!

If you don’t want to use zucchini, you can use other vegetables as well. I like using the zuchinni because they’re savory and soak up the flavors of the sauce and seasonings to best reflect the dish it’s cooked in. What will you try?
