You will LOVE zucchini manicotti skillet!
Meal planning can be hard! Sometimes people tend to get into a rut when it comes to their weekly menu. Many of us get stuck into making the same good, easy dishes night after night. However, after a while, those “good” meals get old and boring and you will need something new. But it definitely doesn't have to be that way! Who says that weekday dinners need to be bland and boring? In fact, they should be anything but boring. You should be excited for dinner and look forward to your awesome keto meals. Luckily, we have a recipe to help get past the mundane and add something awesome to your repertoire.
Whip up this incredible zucchini manicotti skillet and you'll not only cure your hunger but satisfy your taste buds, too! This is the type of meal that you can easily cook up for a night in, but impressive enough to be the main dish at your next dinner party! It is a low carb, keto dish that you are going to love.
Of course, you are likely curious about how a traditional pasta dish can be low carb. As you likely know, most pastas are loaded with carbs and therefore not okay for a keto diet. However, we know how to get around those pesky pasta carbs and get you an awesome, pasta-inspire dish. It's all about the zucchini in this recipe!
Rather than actually using pasta, spiralize the zucchini into wide noodles so you can still enjoy the same great texture without the unnecessary carbs. It's really that simple! If you do not have a spiralizer, you can use your handy vegetable peeler to make thin, long, noodle strips. You may also be able to find zucchini noodles in the produce section of your grocery store or even in the freezer section. Zucchini noodles are tasty and popular so they are likely readily available anywhere you live.
Let's talk about the flavor a bit more. Onion, garlic, diced tomatoes–you get plenty of fantastic taste. However, you may need something more…how about cheese! There is not one, not two, but three kinds of cheese in our amazing manicotti recipe, and all of them add a great taste that you won't be able to resist! And since cheese is totally okay on a keto diet (in fact, it is beneficial thanks to all those fats!), you can feel good about loading up on the cheese. Add in three types of cheese and fresh spinach, and this meal immediately transforms into a hearty meal that is absolutely irresistible.
With so much deliciousness, you may likely assume that you'll be in the kitchen all day. That couldn't be any more untrue! All this meal requires is just over half an hour of your time. You'll be glad to know that most of that time is simply the oven doing the work for you!
Keep it keto-friendly and absolutely delicious will recipes just like this. Whip up your own batch today and be sure to share with your family and friends. Low carb doesn't have to be flavorless–this recipe proves it!
