    If you’re watching your carbs or just want to increase the veggie factor in this recipe, try replacing some of the noodles or just adding in some of those nifty spiralized veggies. Zucchini or yellow squash, broccoli stalks, cabbage, even the carrots in this dish, will all work well after a trip through your spiralizer and will mix in with the noodles perfectly.
