Thanks to Pinterest and Instagram, I broke down and bought yet ANOTHER “As Seen On TV” item. I hate to admit I’m a sucker for those things, and if it claims to help me lose weight, shrink my thighs, make yummy food, you’ll bet I’m owning it. And because of my love of pasta and Italian delights, even though I’m not Italian (close enough), I purchased the {drumroll please…… } Veggetti.
This little hand held kitchen gadget, that cost all of $14.99 (less 20% with my Bed Bath and Beyond coupon… SCORE!), claims to turn your veggies into spaghetti, so I put it to the test. I used zucchini….
and it’s literally the EASIEST thing to use, I swear.
Boiled it for 2 – 3 minutes in boiling water per the nifty little instruction book that came with it and topped it with my jarred spaghetti sauce for a quick fix. Remember, this was my first time, trying it out, so I wasn’t about being all fancy and frou frou… I just wanted to see if I would even like it. And lemme tell you….
I went NUTS over them! So much so that I made MORE later… and The Mister was reluctant to try them (as he is like one big kid, I kid you not!), but he was pleasantly surprised, and my lil guy loved em, too. Lil miss in the house, she was so so. Her big thing was that it wasn’t the same as pasta. Well of COURSE it’s not the same, duh?
So there you have it. For those of you pasta lovers, trying to cut your carbs, here’s your answer. I’m telling you it sounds ridiculous, but it’s absolutely YUMMY! A fraction of the calories, and SO good for you! SCORE on getting in our veggies and making a splurge not so sinful!
