WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

- High water content and volume help satiety on keto
- Neutral flavor absorbs buttery, pesto, or alfredo-style sauces
- Easy homemade or store-bought option for a pasta replacement
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
QUICK SAUTÉ
Sauté in *Butter or olive oil* for 2–4 minutes until just tender. Toss with pesto or a cream sauce; finish with parmesan. Avoid overcooking to prevent sogginess.
MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
After spiralizing, salt lightly and pat dry. Briefly cook over medium-high heat to drive off moisture—this keeps texture al dente and sauces cling better.
