An interesting experiment

I bought a very expensive box of low carb spaghetti and fixed it for
dinner last night. As my wife and I tried it I came up with an idea
for an experiment. I went out to my work shop and collected up a hand
full of saw dust. After boiling the sawdust for 10 minutes I found
that it tasted EXACTLY like the low card pasta!! It was ordinary pine
saw dust but tomorrow I plan on trying some rich white oak sawdust! I
figure it will taste even better than the LC pasta!

Likely so.

And you bring up a very interesting point. I found that old manila
folders and recycled paper egg cartons offer very similar results to
the sawdust, but they provide and additional series of flavor notes
that enrich the dining experience most marvelously. The manila folders
seem exotic with their name from a foreign location and, I think,
should be served with a light sauce, preferably color-coordinated. The
egg cartons are more, I dunno, rustic and hearty. Very tasty with a
simple pan gravy. Side dish of styrofoam packing peanuts. Wouldn't
want anything heavy.

I use the low-carb pasta for landfill. It works very well for that.

LOL. Thank you for confirming my suspicions about low carb pasta.

I have not had pasta for 9 months, and I don't miss it. But if I do
want some, I'll have the real thing, in moderation, and enjoy it.

P.S. I used to love pasta with pesto. Does anyone have any good
recipes that use pesto on other foods?

Jokes aside, if your fine sawdust was obtained by a safe process (no
traces of glue in it, metal shavings etc), it is probably a good
source of fiber.

Ignoramus is correct, cellulose has been used for years as filler in low
calorie and high fiber breads.

I seem to recall the those in the gulag got to try this. Maybe
concentration camps too.

Steam cauliflower, broccoli, or green beans until tender and slather
liberally with pesto.

Yum.

Turn a whole chicken in it, inside and out. Put it in a plastic bag and let
it sit overnight. Roast it. Heaven.

I made some spagetti squash alfredo last week and it was delicious. I cut
the squash in half and put a little water (maybe a teaspoon) on top. Then
covered with another plate and nuked for 10 mins. The squash seemed totally
cooked but it was still a little crispy in texture. The recipe I saw called
for it to be boiled but I couldn't see wasting good nutrients by boiling it.
Any how it was really good with alfredo and may be good with pesto too.

Anyone know if boiling it gives a more yielding texture?

And I would imagine there will be no need for extra fiber for a while!!!
