Shirataki noodles are located in the refrigerated section of your grocery store next to the tofu. I found these noodles at Whole Foods. I used mine to make an Italian style pasta.
Prepare noodle to package directions. In a separate pan sauté some frozen eggplant, zucchini, and spinach. Place veggies over cooked noodles and top with a chunky tomato sauce, cheese, and fresh basil.
Enjoy!
All I have to say is yum!! This dish sounds excellent.
ReplyDeleteI have never had these noodles before. What a great alternative to pasta.
