chicken alfredo zoodles.
This meal was a hit in our house! Matt and I have been in shred mode because we are planning on going to Tahiti in a couple months. We have been focusing on low calorie meals to help cut out some calories. I LOVE zoodles, they are a great alternative to regular pasta. The key to cooking zoodles is to not overcook them! Once they soften up and cook all the way through, take them off the burner! I hope you all enjoy this recipe and have a great week!
