There’s something wonderful about turning veggies into noodles

Sometimes you may want to eat pasta, but not really. That’s where zoodles come in and how this zucchini noodles in brazil nut alfredo recipe was invented. If you happen to have a spiralizer there’s an endless number of ways you can spiralize a long list of fruits and vegetables. It’s so much fun to do.

Now on one of those days when I felt like having pasta, but not really, I decided to spiralize some zucchini, hence the name; zoodles (vs. noodles). I must say, I was surprised by this dish, it really turned out well, if I may say so myself. Brazil nuts are not a nut I use very often, but experimenting with new ingredients is something I enjoy. This particular nut has a very rich in texture and it’s flavour profile is nutty with tropical notes.
