🍝DINNERTIME! 🥒
Y’all asked for more nutrition content, and while I’m no chef or food stylist, I do want to share some ideas with you!
Here at BodyFit, we believe in Nutrition by addition, not restriction, and @thehealthyplate_rd is always encouraging us and helping us find new ways to add more veggies to our plates. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a full plate of spaghetti (yum!), here’s a way my family makes our plates a little more colorful and nutritious on pasta night!
🍝🥒Half pasta, half zucchini noodles (we have a spiralizer but you can also use a veggie peeler)
🥦Add extra steamed veggies (the ones my kids will eat)
🍗Add protein like grilled chicken if desired
🥬Add a salad if you want! I’m a big fan of bagged salad kits!
🧀A little butter and parmesan cheese goes a long way, but you can also do a pasta sauce or salsa like my husband
👨👩👧👦We are eating the same meal but everyone’s plate looks different and that’s okay! Grownups don’t forget that fruit is a good side for you, too!
Nothing groundbreaking here, but simple ideas to add more to get more! Bonus that it’s pretty easy to make too— y’all know me— I need easy and quick! And….many of you know Kurt does most of the cooking around here 🤣

I've never tried zucchini noodles like that. It all looks delicious!
Great idea. My gf just mentioned you could make noodles with zucs. Really want to try it. Looks great
I would do the olive oil and cheese…oh, can’t forget the garlic…😊
Always wanted to do zucchini noodles with spaghetti:). Thx for the recipe:)
That looks so yummy! Going to have to try zoodles with spaghetti. I had a Butternut squash I needed to use so I spiralized that and mixed it in with some rotini pasta and cheese sauce. So tasty and I'll take being able to spiralize Butternut squash as a non scale victory.
Have you saved me any lol x
