low carb bolognese

[serenity648]

I would like to make bolognese, but need to know what I can do to accompany the sauce instead of using pasta. Not salad though, I am having that as well.

thanks.

We have it with shredded cabbage, it's great.

Spiralised courgette (zuccini, i think in the US?)
Spiralised butternut squash
Zero Noodles (thats a brand name because I have forgotten the ingredient in the noodles)
Seaweed (Tescos are now selling a noodle like variety fresh)
Some people can tolerate Soba noodles (buckwheat)

Hope that helps

Barenaked noodles 0.1g of carbs per100g. They also do rice as well.

A couple of boiled new potatoes - low glycemic and a member here said they were going to try legume pasta ie made with lentils or chickpeas. You could also just have a slice of rye bread. - 13 g or a couple of seeded oatcakes - 12 g.

Or just have the sauce pn it's own with grated cheese or some yoghurt!

Italian flat bread made with chickpeas is also a healthy option - https://www.google.co.uk/#safe=strict&q=italian+chickpea+flat+bread

Shirataki noodles made from konjac flour. They come in a packet with fluid. When you drain them they smell fishy. A quick clean in water and they are fine. Virtually no carbs or calories.

I had never even glanced at shirataki noodles before. I will have to give them a go.

I'm quite happy to eat mine "neat" or with a side serving of green veggies, but if i need something a bit more substantial than these I'll go for some cauliflower.

I'm now re-programmed to no longer need actual "direct" replacements.

Chickpea Flour Flatbread - 13 g per serving - http://brokeassgourmet.com/articles/chickpea-flour-flatbread Just about the same as my cup of cocoa for breakfast which for me results with a post breakfast reading within range. Everyone is different of course!
