    Try Quinoa pasta. They make it in spaghetti noodles as well. I secretly put them in my last batch of spaghetti and my husband didn't even notice. :tongue:

    The beauty of pasta is that is is a pure carb. Don't destroy beauty.
    Carbs are teh debil.

    OP just have a small portion of real, regular pasta.

    Instead of using traditional pasta, try using Spaghetti Squash!

    I use whole wheat pasta (because my family actually likes it). I just use a little less of it, and add more veggies.

    You don't need pasta to go italian, consider eggplant parm or a zuchinni lasagna

    If you also have some parmesan then do some eggplant! The other suggestions of spaghetti squash, yaki(yucky) noodles will work... When I want pasta though I just do whole grain Ronzoni or Barilla to get a good taste and high fiber.

    Dog poop.

    It'll taste better than most of these suggestions.

    Try mixing spaghetti squash in with half the amount of pasta. The spaghetti squash will bulk up the portion size.

    I make a lasagna with almost no noodles, i replace all but two layers of pasta with layers of zuccini and eggplant. Top with a lighter sprinkling of cheese... I make it meatless to compensate for the extra cheese fat

    Have you tried the Shiritaki noodles? They are very low carb and quite good as a pasta substitute.

    if you are going low-carb then increase your fat. FAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!! I dropped 12lbs below my lowest adult weight going high-fat and this was after dropping 10lbs in the previous 6 months.

    I've used spaghetti squash, broccoli, sauteed colorful peppers. Why not just a big bowl of meat and sauce? Mostly meat

    Completely this^

    BTW, spaghetti squash, zucchini, eggplant, and other shredded veggies do NOT taste bad. Try it, you might like it. And processed "low carb" pastas are a LIE. Eat real food.
