Spaghetti is Scott’s favorite food and let’s be honest, zucchini noodles just don’t cut it. It’s not the same. I gave up spaghetti for a long time because I don’t eat wheat, until I found white rice noodles (which turned out to be an awesome gluten-free and safe starch alternative)
. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first. I thought it would be a lot like eating pad Thai or pho noodles with spaghetti sauce on top. Gross. But it turns out, they’re awesome. The white rice spaghetti noods have the same texture as regular ol’ pasta, and they don’t have a strange taste. Pasta on its own isn’t flavorful, so the noodles just taste like whatever sauce you add to them. And for the sauce I used fresh summer tomatoes and basil that we got from the farmers market. It was amazing. I love fresh, homemade sauces. It was so summery.
