Or - I went to a gluten free expo on Saturday here in Melbourne and sampled a new product called Slimpasta - its basically what you guys have a Shirataki noodles (or kognac noodles). Calorie free, carb free, they just contain soluble fibre and that's it.

I cooked them up last night with some homemade pesto (walnut and spinach mmmmm), sundried Tomato, olives and smoked chicken and a bit of parmesan - OMG it was delish! They are more like noodles than Pasta and dont taste like wheat pasta but a perfectly acceptable alternative for the calorie saving!

We cant get spaghetti squash here - but I do also stirfry zucchini ribbons to have with bolognaise sauce and that's really yummy too. I adore pasta but the calories, sheesh. Even on bandster sized portions its still easy to end up with a 500 calorie meal which by the end of a day is too much for me, especially if I fancy a small glass of wine. I have to have gluten free pasta too - which is even MORE calories and generally crappy, high GI refined rice, potato flours.

I love zucchini squash but have never had spaghetti squash. How do you prepare it?
