I LOVE PASTA!! But what I don’t love is how heavy I used to feel after eating it! It turns out after some extensive testing, not only am I coeliac, but actually intolerant to rice, so it makes finding pasta pretty tricky without getting a massive bloat or reaction afterwards.

This is why I fell in love with zoodles, so quick, easy and best of all, they don’t bloat me! I know a lot of other women struggle with digesting grains too which is why I thought I’d share this recipe from my signature 12-week program Reclaim Your Radiance with you! 

If pasta doesn’t get you bloated, try a gluten free variety mixed in with the zoodles if you like!

INGREDIENTS

–  100g chicken breast
–  2 heaped tbsp. basil pesto   
–  2 large spiralised zucchini 
–  1 cup baby spinach 
–  ½ cup sliced mushrooms 
–  1 tbsp. olive oil
–  ½ tsp. basil 
–  ½ tsp. oregano
–  Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

  1. Cook pasta as per instructions on the back of the packet (if using zoodles, wait to add them till the end)

  2. Cook chicken in seasonings on a medium heat in a fry pan for 5 – 10 minutes, until it starts to brown.

  3. Add baby spinach and mushrooms with olive oil and sauté for 2 – 3 minutes.

  4. Mix in the basil pesto and zoodles or pasta for 2 minutes before serving.
