Low Carb Tips: You can fake a pretty good plate of pasta by ribbon-cutting zucchini with a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife (pare it down to the core with the seeds). Same goes for eggplant, and spaghetti squash is a naturally ready-made substitute for noodles when you steam or roast it and fluff up the spaghetti-like strands with a fork. Briefly saute the veggie "noodles" with herbs and garlic (you want to leave some texture) and it's a delicious dish. Cabbage may be shredded and cooked like noodles, or the large leaves boiled and left whole as a substitute for wide lasagna noodles. If you are making a lasagna type dish, two good substitutes for high carb wheat flour noodles are boiled cabbage leaves or prepared slices of chicken or turkey lunch meat. Layer these low carb ingredients between rich mounds of cooked and drained ground beef, spices, tomato sauce and cheese.
