another good substitute is spagetti squash. add your spagetti sauce to it and its just like eating spagetti. and its low carb.

I can't wait to try the slaw, that sounds fantastic.

Congratulations on our Weight loss.I am on a journey to lose also.I am diabetic and I use Whole Wheat pasta.Mu DH loves it we can't tell any difference!

I am on Weight Watchers as well as being borderline diabetic so this will help me. My sugars have dropped a bunch since starting this eating program. :D

I am diabetic and glad to hear that brocoli slaw works good as a substitute for pasta. I will definitly use it the next time I want spaghetti. I live alone,too, so do not always cook at home meals.

Well I'm not a diabetic,but my mother is. I'll have to try it!

I love this idea> We use spaghetti squash with meat sauces. I also use the broccoli slaw with sugar fee or lite lemon yogurt to make a very low cal slaw.

Another great substitute for spaghetti.....cut zucchini lenghtwise & slice into strips & gently stir fry to desired tenderness. We enjoy ours more crisp tender. Then serve w/ sauce, meatballs, etc. Yummy! And you don't feel deprived.

Where do you find broccolli slaw in the store?

It is in the produce department, usually at the end of the bags of salad. If you don't see it, ask. I love using this produce. It is inexpensive and I don't have to cut up anything. I like quick, good tasting meals.
