So I've made this at least 3X/week since I read the original post. I am a pasta addict--low carb, high carb and I must say that this REALLY does take care of the pasta jones

I've made it a couple of ways--mixed with Dreamfields and celery alone. I am HOOKED. I get my "pasta" back into my life at least 3-4 times a week!!

If anyone thinks this is wierd or is hesitant to try it--I say go for it.

I've tried it by cutting very thin with a knife and have tried using a vegetable peeler. I think I like it better when I cut it thin with a knife. I bring the water to boiling and boil the celery for 5 minutes, then add the Dreamfields (if I'm using it) and boil for another 9 minutes. This makes the celery totally limp and a perfect sauce vehicle. And, NO stringyness!

Donna, thank you soooo much for this great idea--I would have NEVER thought of it!!!

OBTW--and celery is soooo much cheaper than Dreamfields.
