Cabbage Spaghetti Surprisingly Good!

[mattie7632 24]

Well, unless you're my husband that is. But there's no way I'll ever get him to substitute crappy foods for healthy vegetable stuff!

Okay, honestly if you take a bite of cabbage spaghetti then take a bite of real spaghetti, you are probably going to notice the difference. But, let me tell you, cabbage spaghetti was GOOD! I made it with ground turkey, spaghetti sauce, spices and cabbage. Very very tasty and filling. It has got to be tons less calories.......

Someone also posted a recipe which uses cauliflower as a substitute for rice. I thought that was ingenious! You just grind it to rice size in a processor and then steam it.

Can't say I've had cabbage and spaghetti but I love using spaghetti squash as a Pasta substitute. Delicious!

Cauliflower is amazing! I've eaten it mashed, with stirfry as mock rice, and even to make pizza!

Get a head of cabbage, slice it anyway you want, but I sliced it skinny trying to mock "spaghetti" noodles...cook til soft. Put spaghetti sauce over it, add ground turkey and seasoning if desired, or however you make your sauce. It tastes awesome and very low cal! I won't say it tastes exactly like Pasta spaghetti, but it's a darn good low cal meal and quick to make.

those are really good too! they clearly do NOT taste like potato, but they are yummy with some garlic salt and copious amounts of butter!

I do the same thing but with Zucchini for the Pasta. My husband sometimes does Atkins and he eats the "Dreamfield" brand pasta. Barilla makes a pasta with10 grams protiein in 2oz.. but it also has 210 calories in those 2 oz.. yikes!! Last time I made spaghetti sauce, I grated my zucchini and then had 1/2 oz of the Barilla mixed in with it. It wasn't enough to spike my blood sugar and make me too hungry later. Might not work for everyone so proceed with caution.

We really like boiled cabbage in this household.. well DH & I do, kids (college age) haven't gotten a sophisticated enough palate yet.. so I may try the cabbage as spaghetti noodles since he's getting serious about Atkins again.

I'll have to try this! I'm no low carber, but I love zucchini in place of Pasta for bolognaise - its a great way to get in vegetables. Its not a hardship at all for me to substitute.

I've tried the cauliflower mashed potatoes - sorry, but no dice, lol. Yuck. I like my cauliflower raw with hummus and when I want mashed potatoes, I want mashed potatoes.

The texture is a lot like mashed potatoes, and I don't mind the cauliflower taste but they're pretty good. My husband even likes them.

I have to admit though for me, the Atkins revolution rolls have been my life saver. I've tweaked them somewhat but now I can have my burger on a 'bun' and still be low carb!
