Noodle substitute!

Love thick, meaty, yummy spaghetti sauce but can't do pasta for one reason or another (doesn't fit in your diet, gluten allergy, etc)? I found a pasta substitute! Shirataki noodles! They have 20 calories per 4 oz serving (or half a package), 1 gram of protein, 0.5 grams of fat and 3 carbs (2 of which are fiber). Here's the skinny: Buy them at the grocery store in the health food section or in the refrigerated pasta section. I recommend rinsing them well and then boiling them for 3 minutes to remove the "soy" smell and taste. And enjoy!
