One of the things I used to miss most in the GAPs diet was Pasta Aioli. But thanks to zucchinis and one of the best kitchen inventions EVER (Paderno’s Spiralizer) I was able to enjoy this dish once again! I adapted my recipe from one of my favorite cooking blogs; Against All Grain. It’s of course very easy to make and you can put the pasta together in no time! I “spiralize” my zucchinis ahead of time and store it in my fridge to be able to prepare them in a moment’s notice. I also freeze my meatballs right away and save them for weekly meals to add some variety to our menu. Meatballs are something you can have on hand at all times. It enables me to prepare fun and delicious meals in no time! I even add it to a cup of bone broth some mornings to add some variety to our breakfast. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
