If your really craving the feel of pasta try substituting spaghetti squash. Cut it in half, remove the seeds and put in a 275-300 deg. F oven for about 35-45 minutes depending on the size. The squash should give. Have your favorite sauce ready, allow the squash to cool until it's comfortable to handle and scoop out the flesh carefully, it should break into long strands of spaghetti. Season with a touch of sea salt and black pepper and pour your sauce preferably a tomato based and not cream and enjoy.


Have fun...
I am on the low-no carb diet..it is a good one if you like meat and eggs! You get used to the no sugar, no pasta or rice or potatoes thing..I used whole grain bread it's very good for you and no white flour...or whole wheat wraps make a great meal..and nice big salads with chicken or turkey and eggs added...even beans but hold the tomato..
Hamburger/Vegetable casserole...1/2 lb. good ground beef, can of mixed vegetables, chopped onion, small can Hunt's tomato sauce, 1/4 cup water, salt %26amp; pepper. Combine all in a casserole dish, bake @ 350 uncovered for about 45 mins. Serve.
