Low Cal Pasta or Pasta Replacement?

i use "pasta slim". made from soy and mushrooms i believe. they have a good spinach fet. i find the noodles themselves to be not that tasty, but if you make your own sauce this is not a problem. they take on the flavor of whatever you would like. most places put them next to the tofu products. 20 cals a serving. maybe beware of the soy.

I was going to try those miracle noodles, but then I read on the package "Rinse to remove authentic odor" and just knew I couldn't deal with that.

Hardly any smell on the ones I had and just a slightly 'earthy' smell at that, not rotting sewage or anything!

They just smell like tofu to me. They aren't actually fake pasta, they are just Asian pasta. Possibly they are the same noodles that enthralled Marco Polo who brought noodles to Italy from Asia in the first place. If you like Asian glass, bean thread, yam or rice noodles you will likely enjoy shirataki noodles. If you don't , you won't.

My boyfriend and I are both chef's and we replaced our pasta with spagetti squash. It can be cut in half and baked. Be careful, there are ways to accomplish the task with out cutting your fingers off. Lay the squash on its side cut off the stem end and the top so it wont roll around on you. Pick it up and place it on its cut end and slice down the middle to half it. Scoop out the seeds, set your oven to 350°F and let it cook for an hour or until fork tender. It will seperate into spagetti like strands once you scrape it with a fork.... add your own sauce and perfect low calorie meal that will fill you up.
