    Why not just eat something besides pasta?

    I do sometimes make a sauce that I could use for pasta and put it on roasted acorn or butternut squash instead. Not sure why I haven't tried spaghetti sauce. Also, depending on the sauce sometimes it's good as a topper for eggs or all kinds of things.

    For the record, I still eat pasta and think it's perfectly fine if you don't have a need to cut carbs (like diabetes, etc.), but sometimes I just want the sauce with fewer calories, and I really like winter squash.

    I'm interested in low carb alternatives. I'll have to try the kelp noodles.

    Spaghetti squash is delicious! Season it with some sea salt & pepper before you roast it in the oven, comes out perfect every time. Yum!

    I'm diabetic too and eat kelp noodles, only 1g carb per serving, and better than shirataki noodles (IMO). Here's a low carb meal that I made recently:

    THANK YOU for this. I found these at a store that is 45 minutes from me and I can't wait to go get some! I was so disappointed when the Shiritake noodles made me sick, maybe these will work for me!
