    Seriously, if someone wants something pasta-y but doesn't have it in their calorie goals for the day, why shouldn't they try this? It sounds tasty, I love broccoli. It's not always "carbs are bad" fearmongering.

    I honestly wish I could eat just one serving size of pasta without wanting to have an entire box of the stuff. :(

    I can eat a single serving of oatmeal or quinoa just fine and feel completely satisfied, but for some reason, my stomach becomes hollow when I eat pasta.

    I usually just use the broccoli slaw for sauteing and with salads. I never thought of using it for a meat sauce type recipe (although I love to use zucchini and spaghetti squash this way).

    Thanks

    pretty much. I could eat pounds of pasta.

    Which is why I don't unless I'm going out to eat. I just don't like that it's WAY to easy to blow my calories/macros for the day.

    I'd rather indulge in sushi and just be happy with that. Pasta- I an pleasantly surprised..I can totally live without.

    gosh the girl was just sharing something that worked for her. stop all the debate. I think it is a great idea to get a pasta red and meat sauce fix without blowing calorie out. Thanksf or the tip!

    you gotta try spegetti squash... once you try that... you will never eat spegetti again!

    True story.
    I didn't believe it until I tried it! I even use it in a baked pasta dish that I make and it's great! Even my boyfriend and 4yr old son love it! And it's so easy!
