Spaghetti squash is an excellent and tasty substitute for pasta for
those trying to avoid simple carbs. We'll steam it to eat with tomato
sauce or with meat sauce. Scratching it lengthwise with a fork
produces the "spaghetti" effect.

No, she just wasn't thinking. The meal was mostly for my wife.

Jerry is a fictitious character. The "really real" thing is "he
protesteth too much."

Eggplant is another good substitute for pasta.

I don't see the need for substitutes, and don't particularly like
eggplant either.

It's the whole "low" (or no) carbing thing. I don't see the need for that,
either.

I'm not a fan of spaghetti squash (but I like most squash in general). She
did say she was going to bring him something that didn't involve noodles. I
don't know why he was surprised. Lasagna without some sort of layering (be
it noodles, squash or eggplant) is just meat in tomato sauce with ricotta
and mozarella. Yeah, give me a big bowl of that! LOL

Indeed. I have made that for myself lots of times, but with
mushrooms, ripe
olives, spinach, and bell peppers. A lovely casserole. In fact, I'd
like two big
bowls of that!

Lasagna implies layers. If you expected just meat sauce with cheese,
you should have questioned her the second time she said "lasagna w/o
noodles."

Maybe for you. I am not crazy about. I occasionally eat small amounts of
it, but I wouldn't call it a good substitute for pasta.

I wouldn't either. I happen to like green or wax beans with pasta sauce on
them. But would I use them in lasagna? No.

I'd rather have no substitute than something like squash. It could
have been
worse. It could have had that repulsive cauliflower starch
substitute. She wasn't
offended. We're pretty close, and she knows I'm really picky about
food.
I used to live with her, and in most ways she cooks like our mother,
but better
because she doesn't make any of the bad stuff our mother made. Her
sons both
low carb, and use stuff like squash, and her daughter does weird
macrobiotic
stuff.
