Shirataki Spagetti Dinner

I've almost entirely given up regular pasta when making spagetti at home and replaced with shirataki noodles. These things are awesome! They take a little getting used to, but what a great pasta replacement! They have 3 versions...spagetti, angel hair and linquine. I mainly use the first two for actual spagetti and then for veggie stir-fry. Low calorie (like realllllly low calorie) and filling. Here is an easy dinner that is low calorie, super filling, quick to make and leftovers for a couple days! I paired with steamed broccoli and then for the leftovers I added the broccoli into the spagetti sauce.

 

1 sweet onion, chopped

1-2 green peppers, chopped

1-2 T olive oil

Italian spices to taste (oregano, basil, garlic, bay leaves)

1 bag of morningstar or boca crumbles

1 bottle spagetti sauce of your choice (I do 365 tomato basil, only 30 calories per serving)

3 bags shirataki noodles

 

Saute the onion and green peppers on med-high in olive oil. As they start to cook, add spices. After about 5 minutes, add in the meatless crumbles. Be sure to stir often so they do not stick to the bottom of the pot. Add spagetti sauce and simmer for minimum of 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more spices to taste. As the sauce is simmering, rinse the noodles in a strainer in the sink. After rinsing, add to boiling water for 2 minutes. Strain.

 

So low calorie, there is even room for a glass of wine :-)
