No pasta? No problem! Spiralized veggies make the perfect base for traditional noodle dishes. Go beyond zoodles (aka zucchini noodles) and try your hand at sweet potatoes, asparagus and carrots. You’ll be digging in to a dish with tons of flavor that’s veggie-heavy to boot. Try one of these no-pasta noodle dishes tonight.

Eat your vegetables and indulge a little, too. This noodle dish leans more decadent than diet thanks to cheddar cheese sauce and crispy bacon.

Carrot Noodles with Spicy Peanut Dressing

Give your vegetable peeler a new job: noodle-making! You’ll shave carrots into long thin strips with a vegetable peeler before tossing them in a spicy, creamy peanut sauce.

Asparagus Noodles with Pesto

Go green with this simple noodle dish. Fresh basil pesto is the perfect pairing with lightly cooked asparagus. Baby arugula may seem to disappear in the monochromatic dish, but its peppery flavor is definitely noticable.
