Low Carb Quick and Easy Chorizo Spaghetti

Can I Use Different Noodles?

We have used zucchini noodles for our Keto spaghetti recipe. Zucchini noodles make a great low carb pasta alternative that are both quick to cook and budget-friendly. You can buy the noodles ready prepared from some grocery stores, or you can easily make your own. Simply use a vegetable peeler to peel the flesh of a zucchini into wide ribbons, or spiralize until you reach your desired quantity. You can also use alternative Keto-friendly spaghetti for this dish, such as finely sliced and sautéed cabbage, spaghetti squash, or zero carb miracle noodles. Please be sure to adjust your cooking times and macros accordingly to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Are Tomatoes Keto?

Tomatoes are a part of the nightshade vegetable family, along with potatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, and pepper-based spices. With the exception of potatoes, nightshade vegetables may be included in moderation as part of a healthy and balanced Keto diet. We have used one medium tomato for this dish but feel free to use less if you wish to reduce the carb count further.
