Pasta Alternative PLEASE!!!!

Have you seen what 2 ozs dry looks like when cooked? It's actually a lot seeing it swells after it's done. I like pasta too and so I used to trick myself into thinking I had more, but cooking it past "al dente" and allowing the water to cause it to swell it little more.

spaghetti squash or white beans (navy I think) omg YUM!!

ALSO, dreamfields pasta is good, 5 net carbs per serving

Dreamfields pasta is REALLY good and not nearly as bad as regular pasta. It's quinoa based, I think. We use it all the time.

Have been 'peeling' zucchini with a carrot peeler, and then a short zap in the microwave, add my favourite homemade sauces and it's great ... almost like the real thing. But I am with t few of the people above - you can always save the real stuff for a treat ... once a month or so. We aren't dieting .... just making a lifetyle choice. Good luck!

I get the Al Dente brand called Carba Nada. It is 140 cals and about 18 carbs per 2 oz. Still a lot but it is pasta and I'm not a big fan of alternatives that are nothing like pasta.
