      My girlfriend who is a pasta-holic says that the only thing that actually works for her, "fools" her pasta love is spaghetti squash. There's about 7grams of carbs in a cup. Be careful with the lentil

      I have tried the lentil and zucchini pasta. It's OK. Pretty high in carbs so not an every day sort of thing. One bag is good for about 6 servings for me. I used some grated Parmesan on it.

      So it was good enough though to satisfy the pasta crave or not really? Lol

    I got a product at Costco called Healthy Noodle. It is really good. Has nothing in it, basically cellulose, but it definitely tastes and feels like pasta. 25 calories for 1/2 cup with practically no carbs.

    I buy those too. They are so good! I make them with marinara sauce and my husband and kids don't know the difference.

    No, but it enhances the flavor. For pilaf-like texture, use a ratio of 2 cups of water for 1 cup of millet, and 3-to-1 for a porride consistency. Google "How to cook perfect millet every time" from The Kitchn. That's been my reference.
