I found some Shirataki Noodles while surfing on the net and i am going to order some and try them have not ordered yet so i can't speak from experience but maybe it can be a good alternate for the regular Pasta noodles. Google it and see what you think.

Well, if you're talking spaghetti & meatballs..... we sometimes have spaghetti and meat sauce, but weigh the pasta.... 2 oz angel hair, OR, I have mine over french style green Beans. And we usually use ground turkey. Also, we add lots of mushrooms and onions. Another idea is to make a "lasagna" using sliced eggplant instead of noodles, ground turkey, low fat ricotta and other low fat cheeses, and keep your sauce as low calorie as you can. We make our sauce with a couple of cans of diced tomatoes and maybe 1 can of Tomato paste for the two of us.

I just made this last week. Zucchini Rollups. They were delicious!

I actually thought it would be a great replacement for the lasagna we usually have for Thanksgiving.
