Spaghetti Squash with Grass-Fed Meatballs and Raw Pecorino Cheese
Move over pasta. You’ve been replaced. Spaghetti squash makes the perfect base for juicy,grass-fed meatballs nestled in a hearty Cabernet Marinara. And because spaghetti squash has such a low glycemic load, you can enjoy a healthy serving of this “spaghetti” without spiking your blood sugar.

Pesto with Soy Pasta
As promised, here is a great sauce recipe.
One of the hardest foods to replace on a low carb diet is pasta. We all know the spaghetti squash trick, but when you just can’t get past the “I want real pasta” craving, this soy pasta does the trick. One ounce contains 15 grams of carbs, but the net carbs are very low because the fiber is so high at 12 grams per serving. I usually use the pasta as a side dish with a chicken or fish entree, and add salad and vegetable.
While pesto is traditionally served with pasta, it is delicious served as a topping on chicken or fish. I sometimes even spread it on a slice of nitrate-free deli turkey for a tasty low carb rollup.
