Low Carb Noodles
The fear of pasta deprivation is one of the things that turns people
away from low-carb diets. The cries ring out: "I can’t live without my
pasta!" Fear not. There are many low-carb alternatives to pasta, and
at least one possibly good low-carb pasta on the market.
There are some true hard-core pasta-lovers. These people would just as
soon sit down to a serving of plain pasta as anything they can think of.
But for most of us, plain pasta doesn’t cut it – it’s the sauces and
toppings we want most. For us, pasta is mostly a vehicle for other
flavors. So we need to find a different vehicle to fill that role.
Many vegetables are bland enough to use as a “blank canvas” for pasta
sauces, and most of them are far more nutritious than pasta ever thought
of being. Take the classic, spaghetti squash. Cup for cup, it has
fewer than 25% of the calories and carbs of regular spaghetti (even
whole wheat) – AND beats out the pasta in most nutrient categories.
Calorie for calorie, it simply leaves pasta in the dust, nutritionally
speaking. It’s delicious with pesto, creamy sauces, you name it. It
can also be used in casseroles, like Turkey Tetrazinni. If you've never cooked spaghetti squash before, have no fear; it’s easy.
