I'm allergic to nuts. Can I use a different type of coating on the spirals?

I don't like cheese. Is there a way to make this recipe without cheese?

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up ordering takeout instead.

I had trouble finding spiralized vegetables at my grocery store. I ended up using regular noodles instead and it was still good.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. My family loved it! I served it with a side of roasted vegetables.

I'm not usually a fan of spiralized veggies, but this recipe changed my mind. The cheese sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender spirals. I'll definitely be making this again!
