If you have to have pasta but don't want the calories,

Use celery

3 ribs of celery(1.5 carb) each
boiling water
salt

Cut the celery ribs into long thin strands the size of large spagetti
Lay the celery in a large sausepan and pour 1 1/2 quart of boiling water. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook about 10 minutes until the strands are limp. Drain and serve with any pasta sauce.

Diabetic cooking for family member plus a friend using weight watcher's diet plan.

I love starchy foods. I had to find a substitute.

It is amazing that it does not taste like raw celery at all.

Thanks for the reps, SportsDr. It's a pleasure to help.

That's a good point, DB.
You are getting fiber with this pasta. Fiber is important for fat and food metabolism. You are getting the mental satisfaction of eating pasta without the guilt of too many calories. For those who struggle to remove the flab, this is a boon.

We don't want to consume things that have no benefit to the body.
This pasta will add fiber and give your mind a satisfied full sensation in the stomach to ward off the cravings for those carbs that put on the calories when you want to reduce the calories in cutting.

It is all about glucose production to burn the fat and build the muscle in the body especially for diabetics who must watch and monitor their glucose levels.
Pasta is a notorious fast carbohydrate.

When you are cutting and need fiber and something for your meat sauce without the fast carbs of regular pasta, this makes a great substitute.

I like to vary my presentations and menus so that I do not get bored with the diet, still enjoy the food I eat, and keep my calorie consumption constant.

So I sometimes will opt to eat the celery pasta and a piece of garlic 12 grain bread instead of not eating the garlic bread and eating regular pasta and still obtain the same amount of healthy calories and eat my spaghetti meat sauce too. It allows me to have my cake and eat it too indulgence without serious caloric repercussions.

It is a matter of choices and variety in the diet to meet the appetite's needs as well as the appetite's tastes.

When you are bulking by all means eat pasta, just make it also nutritionally sound in calories.
