I love pasta, however, it’s been quite a long time since I’ve had full-carb pasta. Tag me in your favorite low-calorie recipes @askheathermariannablog and if you make this one, I want to see! Tag on IG!!! This is a much fresher, healthier option than the pre-packaged, veggie pasta at the store. It has a low cook time and even lower-prep time and tastes BOMB! Enjoy!

-1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

-Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle.
-Using a fork, scrape the flesh to create long strands.
-Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring -frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
