Pasta with tomato sauce or pesto, some cheese and that was it \u2013 I was a happy eater. It was quick and delicious, no more cooking or kitchen creativity needed. I would solely live off pasta whenever I was home alone. Let\u2019s face it, even if pasta tastes great, it\u2019s not a real healthy and balanced meal. So while nowadays I will have some (gluten-free) buckwheat pasta now and then, I have become a big fan of vegetable pasta.<\/p>\n<p>Vegetable noodles are quick and easy to prepare, can be eaten raw or cooked, and topped with a good sauce can be pretty delicious. Zucchini are working the best, followed by carrots. The key for well shaped vegetable noodles is a spiralizer. I know, there are so many different ones out there, so here a little story that made me not think about my choice twice. When I grew up, we moved a lot. Different cities and places and though I really enjoyed it, one thing always bothered: the small kitchens! Up until now we always had to sacrifice kitchen space. Often it wasn\u2019t even possible to fit two people in the kitchen room. I am beyond happy that for the first time in my life I have a kitchen that is big enough for me to do my little dance ritual whenever a mango or avocado is ripe. One thought is hard to shake off after all that time though: \u201cI can never fit this utility in my kitchen!\u201d. I just can\u2019t get rid of the habit to buy the smallest kitchen supplies possible. So when I looked online to get a vegetable spiralizer, I was shocked to see how huge these things are! So \u2013 I might not own the most qualitative spiralizer, but sure the smallest! (Have a look at my friend in the \u201cmy pantry\u201d section.) It works just as well and making the noodles feels a lot like sharpen a pencil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_1-960x640.jpg\" alt=\"Zucchini_noodles_1\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_1-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_1-465x310.jpg 465w, https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_7-e1411292097313-465x697.jpg\" alt=\"Zucchini_noodles_7\" width=\"465\" height=\"697\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_7-e1411292097313-465x697.jpg 465w, https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_7-e1411292097313-960x1440.jpg 960w, https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_7-e1411292097313.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_5-465x697.jpg\" alt=\"Zucchini_noodles_5\" width=\"465\" height=\"697\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_5-465x697.jpg 465w, https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_5-960x1440.jpg 960w, https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Zucchini_noodles_5.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vegetable noodles made from zucchini and carrots as a light dinner topped with chunky guacamole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":365,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rawfoods","category-salads"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1142,"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363\/revisions\/1142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingthehealthychoice.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
