Keto Diet

I know a few people are into keto. I’m thinking about trying it
for a few weeks to break through a plateau. I’m unlikely to
embrace the lifestyle.
So, zoodles for a baked “pasta”? Make them, buy them? I don’t
own a spiralizer, but I do have a wicked-looking French
mandoline (which kinda scares me).
Whole Foods sells zoodles fresh and frozen. I’m guessing frozen
would need to be drained and dried.

My mandolin scared me so much I didn't even open it for 2 years.
But it's totally safe if you wear the safety glove or the
plastic thing you hold the food with.

I have two spiralizers and make my own. I have a couple times
bought them at the store when I was feeling rushed. I wouldn’t
probably go for frozen because I like them a tiny bit crunchy.
When I eat pasta, which isn’t often, I prefer it al dente

I would recommend that you salt, drain and rinse your zoodles if
you make them at home. Otherwise, they're really watery, IMO.
FWIW, I have had the most success with keto when I eat stuff I
already like that's low carb, instead of eating low carb
versions of stuff-- for me, zoodles make me feel like I am
eating "diet food" but a caesar salad tastes like a treat. So I
aim to eat the stuff that feels like a treat (although I am
coming back from a week of not following the diet much at all).
I just reread-- zoodles are good in lasagna, but if I do it
again, I will definitely salt, drain and rinse them, because the
water they released messed up the texture of the lasagna.

ITA. I’m modifying some favorite recipes and replacing the
serious starches.

I salt and pre-roast them, then drain them and structure the
lasagna.
