tmela28 2 Posted July 12, 2011 I dont know if anyone is interested in this but if you go on the Atkins website they sell : Penne 11 grams of Protein 1 gram of sugar and only 19 grams of Net Carbs....you get net carbs by subracting the Fiber and polyols from total carbs. The Atkins website explains it !!!!! Isnt that realllly good.???? I mean Im new to this and cant even eat food yet . But do you guys think this is good. Considering Pasta has 42 grams of carbs!

Tiffykins 673 Posted July 13, 2011 I also use the dreamfields Pasta, and during my losing stage I used spaghetti squash for a pasta substitute. My husband and kiddo didn't even realize that I had used half spaghetti squash and half regular dreamfield noodles. They just thought I was being creative. Of course, I disposed of the evidence of the squash before they were home, and could figure it out, but neither of them complained and ate it right up.

Of course, I disposed of the evidence of the squash before they were home, and could figure it out, but neither of them complained and ate it right up. To this day I have never given spaghetti squash a try. What does it taste like? What is the consistency like? If it's really mushy I probably won't like it, I'm more al dente here. I have been meaning to give it a go but when it comes down to it, I've not looked for it when I'm grocery shopping. Also, that is an excellent idea - doing half/half with the lo-carb noodles!!

Also, that is an excellent idea - doing half/half with the lo-carb noodles!! You can actually change the texture/consistency with how you prepare it. I baked mine wrapped in foil and I would say that I like more mushy consistency noodles so probably too much for your preference, but you can play with them and figure out what works best for your texture preferences. I've seen people talk about microwaving them with holes punched throughout it, and that kind of steams it more than baking it. They come in all different sizes and are super affordable. I can say that they reheat well, and it really does absorb whatever you put with it. I'm a major texture person, and those Shirataki noodles had me puking, and that was a combo of texture and smell. No matter how much I washed/rinsed those boogers, I wanted to hurl. These are the two recipes I have used with success in my home: I recommend reading the reviews so you can tweak these to your preferences on texture/consistency. Size of spaghetti squash will change cooking/baking time, and you can cook half at a time to test the waters. This first one, I baked some chicken breast that I had butterflied and stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, feta, and roasted red peppers mixture, brushed with garlic butter TOTALLY TO DIE FOR RECIPE! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/spaghetti-squash-i/detail.aspx http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-spaghetti-squash-with-beef-and-veggies/detail.aspx In this one, I used some skirt steak( fajita seasoned) I had instead of ground beef, and I added a can of Mild rotel instead of diced tomatoes, and it ended up being a more Mexican style casserole vs. Italian (I add a little chili powder and cumin instead of basil and oregano). We are just not big spaghetti family so making it more Mexican flare suited our tastes better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn 16 Posted July 13, 2011 To this day I have never given spaghetti squash a try. What does it taste like? What is the consistency like?

Also, that is an excellent idea - doing half/half with the lo-carb noodles!! Me too! A good friend always cuts it in half and covers it in EVOO, Salt/Pepper and Parm cheese and then bakes it! It sounds good but I HATE other squash so I haven't made myself try it yet! LOL I too use Dreamfields and to me it tastes just like regular "full" pasta!!
