Love pasta, but trying to eat lean or limit your sugar and carbs? Need more veggies in your life? Then it just might be time for you to try making veggie noodles! Veggie noodles (or Voodles, as we’ve heard them called) are a great way to increase the nutritional content of your pasta dishes, while reducing calories and glycemic load. You can use them with your favorite pasta sauces and salad dressings, and if you want to try new flavors, a quick Google search will reveal all kinds of creative and tasty recipes that call for veggie noodles.

All you’ll need to make voodles is a veggie spiralizer. (We’ve tried this Oxo’s Good Grips spiralizer and it works wonderfully, but there are all kinds of options out there, some of which are covered in the infographics below.)

Check out these infographics to get the 411 on veggie noodles. Then try your hand at a few of the recipes included below! And here’s a special shout-out to Fix.com, who created these infographics for Food & Wine Magazine and kindly let us share them with our readers.
