You know I love to create alkaline versions of acidic favorites, and I’ve got another one for you this week.
Being Italian, one of the hardest obstacles I had to overcome was my love for pasta in oil and garlic! This was a staple in our household growing up, and to give that up was quite frankly, sacrilegious!
I love spaghetti aglio e olio – Italian for garlic and oil – but here’s the thing…I don’t love all of the acid in traditional spaghetti and the parmesan cheese it’s usually topped with.
I want to be healthy, and pasta is a carbohydrate, that breaks down into SUGAR which is highly ACIDIC, plus with all that GLUTEN, a gut killer! I wasn’t going to give it up, so I had to find another way!
With that said, it’s so EASY to make this dish alkaline and actually good for you. We start with zoodles – zucchini noodles – and add garlic, extra virgin olive oil, herbs, and spices for a flavorful, delicious dinner that comes together in just a few minutes.
