Alternates to Pasta?

Two more suggestions:
1) Serve it over baby spinach leaves or chopped iceberg lettuce, or in lettuce-leaf cups.
2) Serve it by itself, but add kidney beans to the mix to make it more filling and less runny.

Yes, I will probably use rice, the spaghetti squash doesn't look too nice.

Maybe it'st just me, but isn't this kind of a silly reason not to try it? Seriously, spaghetti squash is the bomb dot com.

If you like spaghetti bolognaise (ie, you enjoy the pasta), then I would add lots of veggies to the sauce which gives you more food without adding many cals, then serve it over a smaller serve of pasta - try the really fine angelhair spaghetti, because its finer it looks like you are getting more than a thicker pasta.

Or if you really just love the sauce then don't bother about trying to substitute the pasta - eat it as it is with a salad on the side, or use it as stuffing for something like capsicum or zuccini.

Generally, I'm not a fan of trying to substitute things that I enjoy - I'd rather eat a bit less of the real thing than add in a fake that is never going to taste the same. But, it doesn't hurt to be creative in the way you serve something - bolognaise doesn't HAVE to go with pasta.
