I had cravings for pasta, but I found I missed the sauce more than anything else. If you can tolerate chicken, try cutting up a little chicken and just adding some alfredo sauce to it (just a little bit since it is high fat and your tummy might be sensitive to it). It's so good. I actually combined alfredo+marinara when I first did that. Work had brought olive garden for catering and I managed to avoid the pasta temptation by just eating some chicken and sauce. It helped!

It's worth a shot. And yeah, alfredo + marinara is a great combo. I used to get that at Fazoli's for the build-your-own pasta.

@JanineVSG You inadvertently reminded me that I had leftover spaghetti squash in the freezer, so I cooked some of that up in a skillet, microwaved a leftover baked chicken tender and chopped it up to add into the skillet, and topped it all off with 1/4 cup roasted garlic alfredo sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan. SO GOOD, for 14 grams of protein and roughly 150 calories!
