How do you go about eating Spaghetti?

Dreamfields low carb pasta. Great tasing and very low carbs in comparison to other brands. Also like others have said, ground turkey or veggie crumbles will add great taste without all the nasty fat.

One of my favorite dishes is to take a Jennie O turkey sausage, fresh zuccini, summer squash, fresh tomatoes and diced onions saute them in a skilliet with itallian seasonings and a little olive oil and in a small pan cook up 2 oz of Speghitti or angel hair pasta ( I break it in thirds to make it look like more) I add a little garlic to the water to flavor the noodles.. drain pasta and toss into the sausage veggie mix serve and sprinkle lightly with a little Provolone or light low fat fine grated motzeralla cheese and enjoy the veggies are low in Calories and the whole thing makes a huge serving for under 400 calories....

Sometimes I also mix speghitti noodles and speghitti squash.. Yummy
:drinker: :happy:

Also Orzo noodles are great they look like rice but are pasta and 2 oz is a large serving.. Bon Appitite

It's a pain....but I measure what I am going to cook, and then I measure it after I cook it, and from the portion I divide it to see how many calories. It sucks but I'm getting used to doing things like that so I can be more accurate with my calorie count.

they sell pasta measurers where you put it in a container and the top adjusts to measure out a serving.
shirataki noodles aren't so good as a spaghetti dish substitute but they are good noodles in a stir fry dish, and no carbs or calories

ooh where!?

Pasta can be good for you, it depends on the type, I like the vegetable pasta! I'd recommend eating it for lunch, not dinner, Bob Harper explains high amount of carbohydrates like the ones found in pasta is much better during the day for lunch rather than dinner when you're close to bed time.

It's hard to stick to a serving.....what about a "smart" pasta? Have you tried spaghetti squash or tofu shiritaki? Those are all low cal/carb options!

i have a food scale and weigh 2 oz dry spaghetti. its quick and easy to do

I eat spaghetti sauce with zuchhinni strips and mushrooms

Ezekiel sprouted whole grain pasta has a low glycemic index and doesn't have high impact on blood sugar, which makes it a whole world better than regular pasta or even regular whole wheat pasta. Or if you want to go even lower cal and carb and spend more Miracle Noodle has No calories, No carbs, but pricey yet great reviews

I just started measuring my pasta. It's not a big deal because I was only eating about 1 1/2 servings w/o measuring before. Then I load it up with my sauce which is mostly veggies, tons of squash, mushrooms, onions and zucchini with the tomato sauce just there to fill it out a bit.

I don't order pasta when I eat out though. As a rule. The portions are always insane and I opt for something indulgent but heavy on the protein instead, like a huge steak!

I cut up a lot of veggies like zucchini, squash, onions, peppers, whatever, sautee them, and then add sauce and simmer. I end up with more veggies than pasta in the end, which I like. Yum.

With meat sauce and a fork

i occasionally use a spoon as well, to properly twirl the noodles on the fork.

also, with a side of garlic bread.

Dreamfields. Measure it dry (on a scale) then cook it. Yeah, its a pain and a half but a 2oz portion is a lot of of food! I never would have guessed if I hadn't actually taken the time to cook my portion seperately from the rest of my family's food.

Then I like to top it with marinated artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, a tbsp of pesto, and shaved parmesan cheese. Sometimes I throw some cooked chicken on top too.

I mix bean sprouts (canned, drain and rinse) in with spagetti, that way I get the taste of pasta but get more volume with less carbs and calories!

1. Twirl on fork.
2. Open mouth.
3. Insert.
