Oodles of Zoodles at Noodles


{ Zucchini Romesco}
this is a sponsored post. i sampled dishes at Noodles World Kitchen in exchange for my honest review. all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Noodles World Kitchen has Zoodles and pasta will never be the same again. You can get zoodles (zucchini noodles) instead of regular noodles in any pasta dish. Zucchini Romesco was created to perfectly pair with zoodles, and let me tell you it is a powerhouse of veggies. I’m talking a roasted red pepper sauce, sundried tomatoes, garden veggies and feta. Zucchini Romesco has 570 calories in a regular or 280 in a small – hello yummy lover. Another great one to pair with zoodles is the Thai Green Curry with Shrimp it weighs in at 440 calories for a regular or 260 for a small.

Want a soup? Get a bowl of the Thai Chicken. A small is just 250 calories and a regular is 370. This soup features coconut curry chicken soup with onion, cabbage, red bell pepper, lemongrass, lime, galangal, turmeric, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and shallots – it’s so good!

Vegans Noodles World Kitchen even has you covered get their Japanese Pan Noodles with Tofu. If you have never tried tofu before I highly recommend giving the NWK tofu a try as its cooked in the pan noodle sauce… yumm.
