These White Wine Mussels with Zucchini Noodles are so tasty, healthy, and a great gluten free alternative to regular pasta!
I don’t know about you, but I think I ate my weight in Chocolate on Valentine’s Day.
Time to get back on the health kick!
I try to mix in some Low Carb meals to kind of balance things out. One of my favorite swaps is using Zucchini noodles in place of pasta. They are so tasty, and I don’t feel all heavy and bloated like I would after eating pasta.
One of my favorite easy and cheap meals to make is White Wine Mussels with pasta. So I thought hey, why not use Zucchini noodles instead!
Depending on what type of spiralizer you have, you’ll want to use the smallest blade setting. I use and love the Inspiralized one, so I used Blade D for this recipe.
The key to making good Zucchini noodles is not sautéing them for too long, otherwise they tend to get soggy. I usually sauté them 1-2 minutes, because I like them to be just a little bit crunchy. Once you add the Mussels and the White Wine Sauce to them, they will get more noodle like in texture.
I hope you guys love this meal as much as I did! It’s:
- Easy to make
- Low Carb
- Healthy
- Satisfying
- and Super Tasty
