If you are cooking for just the 2 of you, do you really need a replacement?
At Thanksgiving, I usually eat 3oz of turkey meat with gravy and a few spoonfuls of whatever looks good

If you are cooking for a group, why not do as you usually do (make the pasta course for them) and just not eat that if you don't want to.

i usually grate zuchini lenghwise and heat in pan. just takes about 2 minutes.  Then I spoon on the marina or meat sauce as I serve with salad.  Got the idea from Emeril.  Tastes remarkably like spaghetti.  You can also put some chicken base or a table spoon of chicken broth while heating zuchini to give it more flavor..just like with spaghetti.

What about spaggheti squash. You can put marinara sauce on it, it's pretty good.

I love this question. One thing is spaghetti squa**** is super easy, super good for you, and super yummy. The next is Cauliflower. You can make a great Faux southern potato salad with Cauliflower or a Faux Mac and Cheese. Really you can uses cauliflower for anything using smaller noodles and Spaghetti squash for anything needing longer noodles.

You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep, and rest when you know that it was 100% effort that you gave --win or lose.
