Craving spaghetti really bad. What's a good pasta sub besides the obvious spaghetti squash???

I tried quest noodles--it doesn't taste like anything but the texture scared the living shit out of me.

What do you guys use instead??

I use squash or zucchini with my a spiralizer attachment for my kitchen aid or i have a veggetie yum

@jensnewbody i actually love using squash. I'm just lazy and wish it was already done for me like everything else lol.

There was a recipe I found of sweet Maui onions to substitute the noodles. I haven't tried it yet since I'm only going into my puree phase on Monday.

You're welcome. I found this blog the other night. The woman is Italian so she has a lot of good Italian recipes & other food. She had WLS too. Just click search and type pasta.

I just bought "miracle noodles" to try spaghetti

@mbuczkowski ooo i've been dying to try miracle noodles. How do they taste? Does it actually taste like pasta?

Have you ever tried shirataki? I think it's made from mushrooms. I just need to find something tasty.

I just bought them but haven't tried them yet.

I was also able to get smartcake (38cal, 9 carb, 4g protein) to try.

Zucchini noodles are great!

I bought the contraption to make those, haven't tried yet

Hope you find something pleasing. I don't like pasta so I'm in the clear. But, I've been looking for ways to change my kid's love of pasta and hoping they might not notice. ?

I just steam them in a ziploc steam bag after and then eat them like they're spaghetti. Very tasty IMO!

@newme17 if you're kids love pasta and you're not going to eat it try pasta made from beans. They sell it at whole foods. Low calorie and low carb and it taste more realistic instead of gluten free rice noodle pasta.

I love soybean spaghetti. 25g protein and 11 carbs per 1/4 cup (dry). They also make edamame spaghetti and black bean spaghetti but my fav is the soybean cuz it looks more like regular spaghetti

I am only 6 days post op, so I can't eat anything yet. But a number of weeks ago my coworker let me try her zucchini pasta. I was surprised it really tasted good, just like the sauce she put on it. So I just ordered a spiralizer on amazon. I'm going to try to make that when I'm able to
