Fake Pasta

This might be old hat, but I have to say I love the spaghetti squash!!!!!! :D:D:D

My diet before gluten-free was all pasta so the diet has been some what challenging! But I discovered the spaghetti squash and its texture is soooo good and its so easy to prepare.....I just love it!

In case anyone is wondering, all I do is stick it with a knife, like you do potatoes, then I microwave the whole thing for about 10 minutes, sometimes longer depending on size. Then I cut it length wise, remove seeds, use a fork to scape out the squash, which is just like spaghetti, then top how ever you would spaghetti!!!

I like it with butter and parm, but my husband likes it with spaghetti sauce.

Anyway, I thought I would pass it on for anyone who might be tired of rice noodles! :P

Lollie--Thanks for the tips on preparing spaghetti squash. I have been thinking about trying it for a while--I think you talked me into it :D .

PS--My younger sister's name is Michele--when she was little, they used to call her 'Lollie'.

My nephew called me lollie when he was little and couldn't pronounce Laura, then it just stuck!!!!

The spaghetti squash is one of my fav's! I hope you like it. And my kids 3 and 5 like it just as much as the real deal!

Good Luck!

I love pasta as well. :)

Have you tried rice pasta? (not rice noodles) It tastes the same as regular wheat pasta, but it takes a lot longer to cook. I buy mine at bulk food stores, it's almost as cheap as regular dried pasta.

I like spaghetti squash as well, but nothing beats a nice hot bowl of real pasta with homemade sauce.

Yum! I like spaghetti squash too. It's a good low calorie substitute for pasta. I just discovered a few days ago that it's great sauteed in olive oil with cubes of chicken or turkey and then seasoned with salt and garlic. Add a little Romano cheese right before serving and it's really good!

I've never heard of this; it sounds awesome!! I'm a big fan of butternut squash with insanely unhealthy amounts of butter. I'm definately going to give this a try. Thanks!

Oh, Spaghetti squash is a fav of mine, been eating for a long time, even before I knew to go gluten-free!!!!

You can also mix it (after it's been steamed) with a can of seasoned tomatoes, parmesan cheese, fresh basil and garlic, then bake and you have a yummy wonderful casserole/side dish

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Thanks, @trents, lactose intolerance is different than a reaction to casein. Consuming casein could be causing that continuing antibody reaction causing localized inflammation. Still worth trying a diet without it. Since you mentioned your father passing, you may want to add Benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine Vitamin B 1 that has been...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      @pilber309, as knittykitty pointed out, lactose intolerance is not the only issue with dairy in celiac community. Lactose intolerance has to do with the sugar component of dairy, lactose. However, some celiacs react to a protein fraction in dairy, namely, casein, like they do gluten.

      Can You Really Trust Gluten-Free Menus? What Every Celiac Needs to Know Before Eating Out

      Over the last 3+ years I've had very good experiences with waitstaff being very knowledgeable about celiac in some chain and other restaurants. Some good news: I recently verified that Jack in the Box has separate fryers for breaded food and their French fries. I've had their S/W chicken salad (grilled), fries and TONS of their tacos with no ill effects...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      It could well be a new intolerance developing. Does your diet incorporate pure oats i.e. those safe for coeliac consumption? I find I can only tolerate a certain amount, same goes for dairy in fact, then I start to get gastric symptoms. Or have you started consuming a new type of gluten-free bread, or more gluten-free bread than normal, that might contain...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Thanks, @trents, lactose intolerance is different than a reaction to casein.  Consuming casein could be causing that continuing antibody reaction causing localized inflammation.  Still worth trying a diet without it. Since you mentioned your father passing, you may want to add Benfotiamine.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine Vitamin B 1 that has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Tryptophan is helpful, too.  Tryptophan is derived from Niacin Vitamin B 3, and helps repair the intestinal tract.  Tryptophan works well with the amino acid Theanine.  So all three help immensely.   We need additional thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill and exercise a lot  or do physical labor.  The brain uses the most thiamine of any organ, twenty percent of intake!   What's your fruity probiotic?

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time. Plus I have been tested for lactose intolerance  etc and I am fine and the other symptoms of that I don't get. As a aside  my dad died last month after a long illness so I wonder if the stress of that might be a influence as a bodily reaction to stress.
