Veggetti!! One way to get creative with your veggies!

Every think that veggies are boring? Or struggle to eat enough veggies? Are you a pasta lover but want to lose weight? If any of these questions fit you then Veggetti is something you should try! And no I do not get any kickbacks from promoting this product I just like to share my finds that I think are great and allow us to stay on track with a healthy lifestyle! :)

I recently purchased the kitchen tool from Amazon because I noticed many friends posting about it on Facebook so I thought I would give it a try. I often like to eat pasta as one of my cheat meals but I thought if I could trick my brain into thinking I was eating pasta but it was veggies instead then it would be one more meal that is healthy.

So my first attempt at using the Veggetti was to make squash and zucchini chicken pasta with marinara sauce. The tool is really easy to use. So there are blades on each side (thin and thick). For my pasta I went with this thick side so that it was more the consistency of pasta and I wasn't sure if the thin option would allow for the "noodles" to hold up once I sautéed them. I think in the future I will use thin option to slice up cucumbers and carrots for a salad topping.

Side note: if anyone has a great marinara recipe that is healthy and easy please send me a message or comment below because I am looking to find one to try!

My First Recipe with the Veggetti:

Ingredients:
1 tsbp Olive Oil
1 tsp of garlic/pepper seasoning
1 Squash
1 Zucchini
3-4 cups Spinach
Your favorite Marinara Sauce
16oz Chicken (2-3 chicken breasts)

Instructions:
Using the Veggetti insert the squash and zucchini and twist in tool to make your noodles. In a pan add  olive oil and heat pan on high until oil starts to ripple. While the the pan is heating for the veggies bake or Grill Chicken until done. Once the pan is hot reduce heat to medium and add seasoning, squash, zucchini, and spinach. Heat until spinach has wilted and ready to serve. Once all are hot and ready combine in a serving dish and layer veggies, then your favorite sauce, and chicken! You are ready to eat!!

If serving more people you will need to increase the amount of veggies as they will decrease in size once heated.

If you have used this tool before and have a recipe you LOVE please share it with me...send me an email or post it on my Facebook wall!
