Here's a fun way to get your daily dose of vegetables: turn them into noodles. Not sure where to start? We rounded up the best, most creative veggie-noodle dishes on the Internet, ranging from a fresh take on chicken pho to a satisfying yet pasta-free macaroni and cheese. Bust out your julienne peeler, mandoline, or spiralizer — or in the case of spaghetti squash, a fork — and then dig in!
Few foods feel more restorative than a fragrant, piping-hot bowl of pho. It's our go-to cure for hangovers, sniffles, and bone-chilling Winter nights. For all that, plus a generous dose of veggies, try this zucchini-noodle version.
Traditional pad thai is delicious, but it's not exactly light. Instead, try this recipe inspired by the popular Thai noodle dish; it subs crisp, shredded radishes, carrots, and zucchini for the chewy rice noodles.
Want to make spiralized vegetable noodles but don't want to shell out for specialized gear? Try the lazy girl's method for shredding zucchini before tossing it with a tangy combo of crème fraiche, pesto, and peas.
Just because you're subbing spiralized zucchini for pasta doesn't mean you can't get your grain fix. For the best of both worlds, add a handful of nutty farro to the mix.
