Low Carb Diets Low Carb Diets Getting Started Health and Nutrition Recipes From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets It's natural to miss some of our favorite foods when we change to a new way of eating, and pasta is often one of those things. Often vegetables, such as spaghetti squash and other squashes, are used as substitutes. Here are some tricks to make these dishes more successful. Have a great and healthy weekend - Laura Zucchini Lasagna Did you ever try to make lasagna using vegetables instead of noodles? Did you find that the whole thing ends up kind of soupy from the juice that comes out of the veggies? It turns out the salting zucchini draws out the juice and firms up the strips so they are more like real noodles. (This is a similar technique as the one I use in my Zuchinni Noodles.) This recipe is easy to assemble, as I use sauce from a jar, though you could always use your own homemade sauce.
