Noodless Spaghetti

Tonight, I made an amazing pasta dish. And, no, I don't mean I am any Giada or Food Network guru but, I am pretty proud.

So, what I wanted to do was find a great new way to make spaghetti without the heavy carbs. I have been working on a new diet plan (post to follow) and it includes sticking to lower carbs after breakfast and the two hour window after working out. For me, that meant dinner today since my spin class was this morning.

Here is what I did.


You need:

- Hungry Girl Shiratake noodles (two servings per package)
-Tomato paste
-Small amount of half and half
-Bell peppers
-White onion
-Mushrooms
-Garlic salt
-2 garlic cloves
-1/2 lb 99% lean ground turkey
-Italian seasonings (I use extra oregano in mine)
-2 tsp crushed red pepper
-Shaved parmesan cheese


1. Brown the ground turkey in a pan adding a little S&P to taste.
2. Dice up the bell peppers, garlic, and white onions. Sauté them over med-high heat with a little cooking spray.
3. Once those have cooked for a little, add the mushrooms. These cook up pretty fast. Add a little S&P to taste and some garlic salt.
4. In another pot, heat up the tomato paste and the half/half so it is not as thick. Once that has heated up, add the sauteed veggies and turkey.
5. Add crushed red peppers, oregano, italian spices, and let simmer.
6. Open package drain and rinse noodles well. Heat up noodles for one minute in microwave as directed on the package.
7. Add the noodles and sauce together and top with the shaved parmesan cheese. I am particular to fresh shaved cheese because it melts so nicely. Enjoy!
