I don't buy them since I count carbs and so I can have anything that fits into the amount of carbs I can have per meal. Cheryl, I believe, tried the pasta and thought it was awful and threw it out. I was eating the 4 gm carb ypgurt and the dietitian explained to me that I would need to eat 4 of them to get the proper amount so I switched back to the artifically sweetened low fat variety. But there are others around here who do eat them and I am sure they will chime in.

Spaghetti squash is wonderful. I just punch some holes in it and cook it in the microwave. I forget how long. Then I take it out of the shell and add some margarine and fresh herbs and a little Parmasean Cheese. Yum!


How do you prepare it? I look forward to it because it is only available around here this time of year.
