I found this in a kroger here in galveston. i KNOW they dont have it up north but if you can find it, you can use it JUST LIKE SPAGHETTI!

seriously, this meal tonight is one of the most satisfying meals ive had since being banded.

its tofu. its shaped like Pasta and has roughly the same taste and texture as cooked spaggetti. this brand is called shirataki tofu and is produced by House Foods. i got it in the fresh produce section where they have all the tofu and textured soy products.

tonight i cooked three oz of ground turkey with a tablespoon olive oil and a couple of pinches of fresh oregano. added enough ragu to make it look good, drained a serviing of the tofu shirataki, microwaved it for a minute over a paper towel, plated it.

next to that i opened and cut up one and a half oz of armenian string cheese and about the same amount in sliced bosc pear.

outstanding dinner, i highly recommend it. just dont eat it really fast like we used to do spaggetti, eat slow and enjoy!

I would love to find those tofu noodles!! Small town here and not likely to find them except perhaps the health food store has them.

Another Pasta replacement is spegetti squash. Just use the insides like pasta.

I've been hearing this FOR YEARS! One of these days I really AM going to try it!

I promise!

I'm going to look for the tofu too. It sounds yummy. I did recently cook some spaghetti squash and it was great too. I used pasta sauce and ground turkey. I really satisfied my craving for pasta. Just don't over cook it. I pierced it several times and put it in the microwave for about 15 minutes. Well, after about 12 minutes it exploded, knocked the microwave door open and fell out on my kitchen floor! Talk about a mess! I was still able to salvage the meal, but it took me a while to clean up the microwave.

I think I scraped out the raw insides and then cooked that.
