Hubby has been wanting me to make spaghetti for two weeks, but pasta is one of my trigger foods. I lose all control when it comes to pasta. There is no moderation for me...I always want More, More, More!!!! I needed a pasta substitute! I have posted before about spaghetti squash, and it is okay, but I needed something a bit quicker ( I don't like the spaghetti squash in the microwave.)
I hit the store following my workout this afternoon to pick up a small pack of spaghetti. My plan was to make noodles for him and have my sauce over broccoli. I was in the produce area picking up some bell peppers when I got the idea to try sauteing the broccoli slaw and using it as a pasta substitute. IT WAS PERFECT!!! Have you guys tried this before?!? I googled sauteed broccoli slaw after dinner and found several recipes similar to the way I prepared it (cooked with a bit of olive oil and garlic). I also added a bit of shredded cheese on top stirred in with my marinara sauce and it was a perfect meal :)
What a great idea! I will try it myself soon. I have to watch carbs, too, plus my son is on a gluten-free diet. Thanks for the tip. I look forward to catching up with your blog, I'm a new reader/follower.
ReplyDeleteWait, say what?! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love spaghetti squash, but like you I dislike it in the microwave and it takes too long for me during the week.
I must try this!
