I used to love having Lipton Noodles & Sauce as a side dish and now I've found my substitute.

It's called "Mock" Fettuccini Primavera from Food Networks Low Carb and Lovin' It. It is spaghetti squash with a creamy parmesan flavoured sauce. I used a full squash instead of the half as suggested because it seemed like a way too much sauce. I found it so good that I didn't even get around to topping it off with tomatoes and basil.

Here is the link:

I made this and it is wonderful, must say I never did get to garnish it either with the tomatos and basil.

I tried this recipe because I had a spaghetti squash that I've been wanting to use. The recipe came out soooo good. I followed the advice of the orginal poster and used the whole squash instead of 1/2. It was the perfect amount for the sauce. I thought I had all everything I needed and found that I was out of parmesan so I used mozzerella instead. It was really creamy and very rich, I do want to use parmesan next time. I also left out the tomato & basil. My non-LC hubby thought it tasted like Lipton noodles & sauce and I never told him that's what the original poster said. I will make this again soon.

Ohhhhh...this does sound good. I was also thinking how good the sauce might be over veggies. Thanks for posting.

That sounds devine thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much for sharing!! It really keeps me motivated to find out about all the creative close to carb recipes we can do. Let's keep'em coming.

Since I'm not a very computer-literate person, let alone a forum-literate person, I can't find the original post of whoever suggested this the other day. ANyway, in case it's gone, I will give the website again bc I did the amazingly rich, creamy and cheesy spaghetti squash recipe tonight and it's delicious!! THere wasn't much protein in the origianl recipe, so I stir-fried some shrimps and extra veg and it's divine. Feel a little guilty with all the fat bc I then had a treaty dessert but it was low sugar and lower than the average in carbs (low sugar ice cream - still 14 g carbs- with no sugar choc syrop and berries--yuuuummmmeeeee).

THe Mock fettuccini primavera recipe is at www.foodnetwork.com

First time doing spaghetti squash and came out a little mushy so I think I cooked it too long. Keep the creative recpies coming!

Oh yum!! I will definitely try it with shrimp next time. Thanks for the idea.

I put that sauce on top of broccoli and cauli ALL the time and it's GREAT!

I couldn't remember what my old user name was so I made up a new one when I started back on Atkins again. (I orignally posted this.) Now I know who I was and I found the recipe I was after.

Oh, well I'm gonna keep my new name.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the recipe, it's delish and the sauce is really good over broccoli & cauli. Happy to hear that you are starting Atkins over again, good for you! It's yummy recipes like this one that help keep me on track.

I'm going to try this tonight with mussels, altough I may do a red sauce. Never used spaghetti squash before.

I don't know about mussels but it is excellent tossed with freshly cooked shrimp.

Isn't there a way to make spaghetti squash in the microwave?

can anyone tell me?

Cut it in half, scoop out the seeds. Lay cut side down in a shallow dish, add about an inch of water or a bit less, and cover with plastic wrap. Cook on high until soft.
