"The fear of pasta deprivation is one of the things that turns people away from low-carb diets. The cries ring out: "I can’t live without my pasta!" Fear not. There are many low-carb alternatives to pasta, and at least one possibly good low-carb pasta on the market."
AND it's very nutritious:
Spaghetti squash contains many nutrients, including folic acid, potassium, vitamin A, and beta carotene. It is low in calories, averaging 42 calories per 1-cup (155 grams) serving.[2]
