There is good news for pasta lovers coming, I think.

As the popularity of LC diets expands, I expect to see more and more LC products appear. LC pasta can't be that far away.

Also there is always spaghetti squash, and the wonderful deep-dish pizza recipe in the "recipes" section of this forum, among others.

Bear in mind, though, this is a way of eating for life - occasional cheats aside. Consider alcoholics: many (some say all) can never be allowed to drink again. Likewise for carboholics - eating pasta has got to handled warily, if at all.

Personally, I find al fredo sauce works even better on grilled, spicy Italian sausage than it does on tasteless, fattening noodles.
