WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Very low net carbs (~2.1g/100g) allow generous portions
  • 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.
