Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper Zoodles

These roasted garlic red pepper zoodles are low in fat and high in protein thanks to added nutritional yeast. Roasting the garlic and peppers adds a ton of flavour and creamy texture without adding oil or extra salt. This recipe is a lighter, low calorie way to satisfy a pasta craving! If you're not a fan of zoodles, feel free to use the sauce over your favourite pasta, steamed veggies or baked spaghetti squash
