Add a photoHow can you make an almost zero carb spaghetti without the pasta? Fork up $14 or so and get yourself a veggie slicer that does a great job of turning your zucchini or squash into carb-less spaghetti. You can make all your favorite pasta dishes with 'veggie pasta.' For this recipe, I went for one of my favorite pasta dishes - spaghetti with basil pesto sauce .You can go all the way and prepare your own pesto sauce, but I chose to just pick up some prepared pesto sauce from my favorite grocery store. The beauty of zucchini or squash spaghetti is that you can make your dish totally vegetarian or with your favorite protein -- beef, pork, chicken or seafood. How about that?
