Fettuccine Zoodles

Low carb, high protein and extremely easy to make, Fettuccine Zoodles is a balanced meal worthy of a spot on your weekly dinner roster.
When I said that this recipe was easy to make, I meant it because it comes together in one pan and uses fresh pre-spiralized zucchini from Heinen’s Produce Department, so I don’t have to spend time spiralizing zucchini myself.
Tossed in a pan with a rich, minimal ingredient Alfredo sauce featuring Heinen’s heavy cream and 24-month aged Parmiginao Reggiano, the hardest part of this recipe is choosing what ingredients you want to add to enhance the colors, flavors and heartiness of the finished dish. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with Heinen’s sun-dried tomatoes and frozen turkey meatballs. I think my family would agree!
I like to serve this dish with crusty bread from Heinen’s Bakery to soak up the sauce, along with extra Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon for brightness, but feel free to add any additional toppings you and your dinner crew crave.
If you are looking for a light meal that doesn’t lack flavor, this recipe is for you!
