TOMATO BASIL ZOODLES

Did you know that zucchini can make the perfect low-carb substitute for pasta?  These zucchini noodles, or "zoodles", topped with tomato sauce, fresh basil, chickpeas, and goat cheese will make you a veggie pasta believer!  Plus they're really easy and fun to make.  Kids love to help spiralize these, so don't be afraid to get creative with your kiddos in the kitchen.

There is so much delicious produce available this time of year.  Zucchini, in particular, is a great vegetable to take advantage of during the summer season.
