Spaghetti Sauce?

[Southern Bell 4]

I am having a craving for Spaghetti, but I know that after my fill last week I better not try noodles. Give me some ideas of ways that you have made your spaghetti lapband friendly.

I just avoid the Pasta and makes it with meatballs or veggie style, sauce over squash, eggplants, onions, etc

I'm going to get up the nerve to try spaghetti squash. Maybe that's an option. Good luck!

I have no trouble with spaghetti. I just take small bites and chew it well ..... I do have trouble with larger noodles like the large egg noodles and lasagna .... what works for some may not work for you, just give it a try and you will figure it out..... just remember regardless, take small bites and chew it well.

I use whole grain Pasta and have no problems with it. I just cut it up really small, chew until it's mush, and eat very slowly.

I make 2 kids of spaghetti at my house: One normal for me and one without noodles for my lo-carbing-it husband. He just likes a plate of sauce with meat, mushrooms, and peppers with parmesan on top. I like it with noodles. I can't eat but maybe 5 bites of it - but it helps the Pasta cravings! If I were you, I'd try it before I resigned myself to not eating it forever. I can eat almost anything (sans pizza crust) if I take small bites and chew it very well.

Good luck!

I can't do noodles so I just have the meat and sauce. We use ground turkey breast instead of ground beef. I did have lasagna last week and didn't have any problem with those noodles, as long as I took little, bitty bites.

Spaghetti squash is pretty good, just a different texture. Also you could try the tofu shiritaki noodles (they are where the vegetarian meat products are). They are 40 cals for the whole bag! Again, a different texture but not bad! As for me, I'm eating Pasta right now....no probs there!

I am still in stage 5 (mushy/ground) and I have a big pot of meat sauce in the crockpot- am planning to serve it over noodles for everyone else, and over part skim ricotta for me (shhh- I might have a bite of garlic bread though )

1/2 cup low fat ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup prego spaghetti sauce, 2T parmesan cheese grated, 1/4 cup shredded low fat mozarella cheese. Microwave till cheese melts. Sometimes I also add a couple turkey meatballs. Who needs noodles?

[Southern Bell 4]

Wow! Thanks for all of the suggestions. I guess I shouldn't be scared of trying the noodles, but I have just had several stuck episodes since my fill last week. Again that for the suggestions.

I cut up zucchini into Pasta like noodles. Its wonderful!

I went out to this restaurant (Italian) thinking I could have nothing on the menu. So my husband orders eggplant Parmesan...it went down smooth and tasted like lasagna...oh my gosh it was good!!!! So I got on a cooking light website and you can use whole wheat Panko instead of bread crumbs....I'm going to make it this week.
