Kyrasdad, you said "There isn't any real way to replace the spaghetti and Ragu sauce meals we used to have."

Perhaps OT, but I have made a lasagne that is to die for. (Not for induction, but fine later on) Make pancakes, using ground almonds, ground porkrinds and eggs to make a batter; then make a lc bolognaise sauce with unsweetend tomato sauce and ground beef, herbs, onions, mushrooms etc.; layer all this with grated parmesan, mozzarella and ricotta cheese and bake as for lasagne. I served this up to some non low carbers and they had no idea..ate it all.

If you can't be bothered with the pancakes, a healthy substitute is to grill slices of eggplant and layer that instead with the sauce and cheeses.

And this is not an expensive dish either.
