Vegetable pasta. Favorite new dish? Definitely.
Ever since my obsession with carrot pasta first began, I have been searching for other vegetables to make a “pasta” dish. Luck was on my side because I stumbled upon this beautiful picture from the Kitchen Confidante. The different colors were a feast to my eyes! Unlike the Kitchen Confidante, I did not make a sauce, but I am sure the noodles would have tasted amazing with anything since the vegetables absorb lots of flavor. Maybe next time? This dish is unbelievably easy to make and healthy! It took me a little over fifteen minutes to make.
- Wash the vegetables, then dry.
- Use a julienne peeler to form noodle shapes from the zucchini, squash, and carrot. I peeled the entire vegetables.
- Steam the noodles.
- Once cooked, place the noodles in a bowl and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and some lemon juice.

My name is Jen and I am a 19 year-old recovering from a rather nasty food addiction and eating disorder. Each time I tried any weight loss routine, I ended up reverting back into my unsafe habits (gaining large amounts of weight and doing awful things to my body). I am truly trying to overcome this with a proper diet and healthy lifestyle-- the correct way. This blog shall follow me on my journey. I shall be posting about my progress, delicious vegetarian food, and information that I hope will assist others on similar endeavors.
