Baked ziti-ish conversion
« on: February 18, 2012, 09:03:29 AM »
I made dinner for a friend and I hope I didn't stray too far from the path on the conversion. I wanted to try Italian so I made a baked ziti-ish dish. I used a bag of shirataki tofu macaroni noodles, a bit of ricotta cheese, a little egg white, grated mozzarella and low carb spaghetti sauce. Mixed that all up and topped with a little grated Parmesan then baked. It made 2 servings. I think it was about 8 net carbs per serving. Not super low I know so I worried I had gone too far for being in the beginning stages. But boy it was yummy. Was this an ok conversion?

Yes.Italian is one of the easiest.Just take it easy on the sauce and garlic.Your marinara's are always lowest.Lasagna is another good fat to skinny meal. ;)

I used as little sauce as I could get away with. I used a cup for the whole recipe and was out of fresh garlic so used a bit of onion powder and oregano. Not my best sauce effort but turned out ok since there wasn't a ton of it. Thanks!
