What to serve with Spaghettie

AlyssaLynette

:huh: I know the traditional side of choice with spaghetti is salad. However, I sometimes get bored with the same thing all the time. Does anyone have suggestions on other low-carb sides for this dish?

cheese and broccoli!!!!!!!!#^&!&**

rbryntes

umm. Anything? Or add veggies to the pasta and serve as one big dish?

I like fruit and cottage cheese. don't know if it's low carb though :-/

roasted asparagus goes perfect with it

stefchica

i dont know either, so usually mix different things into the spaghetti so its not so boring like the usual tomato sauce

the other day i made a DELICIOUS one, that i just served with bread....well, it was spaghetti squash but just as easily made with regular spaghetti or pasta!! just made a sauce of milk with some goat cheese, sauteeed some garlic with sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, mixed it together with the cheese sauce, tossed in some spinach, tossed it together with the spaghetti squash and mixed in some feta cheese.....breadcrumbs on top, baked it for about 30 min! D E L I C I O U S!!

BUT DEPENDING how your cooking hte pasta can vary.... vegetables, bread, some kind of protein (chicken, veal, a steak) uhhmmm.....i dunno lol i would need to know how the pasta is being cooked first

I make most any kind of veggie. Peas, green beans, carrots, corn, broccolli.

How about just the spaghetti? You have your meat, starch, tomatoes, etc. You could have a piece of fruit for dessert.

I like it with texas toast! Yum! I know, bread's not good.....ha

What about some bruschetta or garlic flatbread?

NiciS72

steamed broccoli with lemon juice
steamed cauliflower with lemon juice
green beans with almond slivers
steamed asparagus with balsamic or white wine vinegar
raw veggies with hummus

Will it kill you or make you insta-fat or something?

Fruit salad. Fruit salad is the answer to everything.

She did say low carb. Although, if we're going for low carb, why eat spaghetti at all? Why not have your sauce on spaghetti squash? Eliminates the carbs of the pasta and gives you a veggie to boot...

I thought that was 42.

Exactly. I was confused by poster stating low carb in the same sentence as spaghetti...
squash for the win...

Add onions, garlic and lots of peppers to the sauce. I never have a side with spaghetti, it takes up the whole plate already for <400 cals to have an additional 'side'.

Garlic bread?

IronmanPanda

I usually serve garlic bread and a big fat ol' dry aged rib eye, baked garlic and parsley sweet potato fries and bacon wrapped asparagus. Then I just toss the spaghetti and garlic bread out the window.

Bankman1989

LMAO! Garlic bread w/ butter..wine and maybe cake or pie/ice cream.

I love spaghetti! But if i eat a plate full of pasta there is no low carbing it..it's pasta!

Try spaghetti squash instead of pasta and some steamed green beans and with the calories and carbs you are saving you might can eat a piece of low carb bread.

Gigi_licious

Could you not just have meat on the side? I hear chicken, beef, pork, and turket cutlets are low carb.

Neither, but she was probably asking for healthier options. I like my bread! And even better, cheese bread with a little garlic. ha Behave you!

I prefer garlic bread with a little cheese

AlyssaLynette

Yes, lots of carbs in spaghetti... That's why I was trying to balance with something w/out carbs. I am loving all the ideas! I don't eat pasta everyday, lol! I just like it for a "treat" occasionally (I am Italian, after all). I may try out the spaghetti squash, though...

AlyssaLynette

Can you get the spaghetti squash most seasons?

MinnieInMaine

I've seen spaghetti squash in the store pretty much year round but it does get more expensive out of season of course.
