I LOVE pasta, but on a ketogenic diet it's a big no-no.

I find that Konjac noodles work (more or less) for me... especially for a strong sauce like a tomato-based spaghetti sauce.

If you are more of a DIY type, this recipe actually works really well. It's a neutral flavor, but with a great texture. It requires a bit of practice, but it's my go-to now for ramen and spaghetti.

A new company making some ready-made pasta called JaziLupini is coming online and I haven't tried yet (I have some on the way), but understand it is a very good substitute too.

But to encourage you, I have lost 150 lbs (!) so far on a keto diet and my blood sugars are in the normal range without medications, so I can say it is an effective diet!
