I've been slow carbing via Tim Ferris' the 4 Hour Body for three + months. A difficult subtraction from the weekly diet is pasta.
I've made lasagna with egg plant and other squashes to help replicate the layering effect that lasagna has but nothing to replace the linguini...the ravioli...the gemelli...
And then yesterday I saw a blog about spaghetti squash.
..and then I youtube-d how to make the stuff. The first one I watched featured a nice lady with a lisp...try not laughing each time someone with a lisp says squassshhhhh. Suffering succotash!
I made the dish last night and only one error- I didn't flip the squash half way through- the rotating table in the microwave isn't enough on its own.
Otherwise- a decent substitute (NOT equal- but decent.)
It has a crunchy texture- like sauer kraut and a slightly sweet taste. I made it with spicy meat sauce and it was derrrrishoush.
