What is a good alternative to eating pasta?
A good alternative to pasta (especially the processed, refined flour kind) is spaghetti squash. It is easy to cook and when you use a fork to remove it from the rind, it looks just like spaghetti!! Works great with spaghetti sauce, sauteed veggies or butter, herbs and parmesan cheese.
Brown rice pasta is a healthier alternative to wheat pasta, if you REALLY want pasta. Just make sure you watch your portion size. A serving of pasta is 1/2 cup!!
I also just saw a recipe for thinly sliced zucchini in place of pasta. Just saute it in a little olive oil and use like pasta.
