The vegetable spaghetti that nutritionist Blanca GarcÃa-Orea also proposes as a healthy recipe, are, if you like pasta, ideal to give a boost to the week on a Wednesday.

We finished with more spaghetti but, this time, with zucchini. You can make them with a pasta spiralizer or with a peeler. You only need a large zucchini, a large spoonful of cream cheese or 80 grams of fresh cheese, a splash of soy sauce, a splash of water and two or three slices of bacon, turkey, ham, grilled chicken or tofu. You just have to peel the zucchini and cut it into strips with the peeler, sauté it with oil and salt until it is soft and add the soy sauce and fresh cheese mixture. Cook the bacon separately and add two grilled eggs to complete the amount of protein if you only used bacon. Remember that proteins of high biological value are, again, essential for the formation of collagen and elastin, responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
All of these recipes are easy to prepare and are ready in no time.
