Question for the low carb members

[TMB]

Got to thinking about what can I eat that's low carb and it hit me to cut spaghetti squash noodles very fine like rice .

Pan fry in butter just till crisp (few seconds) then use as you would rice in a dish.

Anyone got ideas about this?   Truly trying to find new things to eat

Tommy:  I have cooked the squash in a pressure cooker for about 8 minutes.  Then scoop out the spaghetti and cut if you want.  Then stir fry in a pan with some chicken stock and butter or olive oil.  I also then mix in some tomato sauce like yours, and even some sausage and it makes a good dish.  Still pretty low in carbs.

Was wanting to do a paella type meal if I can and try to keep the carbs down

Just wondering if anyone had tried this?

I love rice and the texture just thinking outside the Uncle Ben's box

Last week we took spaghetti squash cooked it in the oven for a while then made spagetti out of it then fried it in bacon grease and topped with sauce. Oh man it was good.

Tommy Google cauliflower rice. I'm sure you'll find many recipes.

Can't handle the flavor    Ive tried but cauliflower taste bad to me, kind has a taste like an old house smells

Just can't do it

LOL... I  already KNEW not to even suggest it!   


I'll be interested in seeing how the Spaghetti squash works out, or even perhaps some finely grated zucchini.

Squash is on the list  for dinner tonight!  Ill save some and chop it up fine then fry in butter to crisp then try it in a dish

Sounds interesting.  Let us know how it comes out.  I may have to try this as well (I need to get back to the low carb thing....)

[SmokinKat]

That's a great idea, hopefully it works out!

I know this is an older post but we use a spiralizer (https://www.amazon.com/Blade-Spiralizer-Vegetable-Spaghetti-Vegetables/dp/B00KOWGZJE/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1496774711&sr=1-4&keywords=Spiralizer) to make noodles out of zucchini, then just cook them in a pan until they get tender.

LOL, a little more reading and it's obvious you all already know about the spiralizer/zucchini.

Yes sir, so far all is well eating veggies (thought I'd never say that) 

But since starting this eating plan veggies are looking better

When I want spaghetti type dish I don't bother cooking the zucchini. I slice it, toss it warm olive oil spiked with garlic, red pepper flakes and anchovies.
