@athenalee I found alternative foods to use for decreasing my daily carbohydrate count. Pasta Zero by Nasoya does not have the consistency nor the taste of real pasta but it is close enough for me at only 5 grams of carbohydrates per serving. I believe what is put in with the pasta will make a difference with taste. Pasta Zero comes in fettuccine or spaghetti form. It was good with the spaghetti sauce. Next, I will try making a pasta salad. Pasta Zero comes wet in an 8 oz bag which I found in the produce section of the grocery store among the tofu products. Good luck!
