Adding seaweed to this pasta dish doesn’t only lower the carbohydrates, but also adds extra jodium, omega 3 & iron! To me, that’s a great way of eating healthier! You can add as much seaweed spaghetti as you prefer. However I like the combination of pasta & seaweed, since the pasta adds a different structure.
The seaweed spaghetti, which I used for this recipe, is produced by SeaMore. SeaMore makes delicious food items with seaweed. They make not only this spaghetti, but also seaweed nacho’s, wraps & sea bacon. Eating seaweed is healthier due to low carbs, more vitamins & minerals. Moreover, by using seaweed in vegan and vegetarian dishes, you can add complex flavors!
