Yum! all your food looks so tasty  

oh my gosssssssh this looks like fine dining 😍 

Mmmm looks delish. Thanks for sharing. I can’t remember last time I had pasta 

Cindy, taiwyn, p$m, this is my favorite spaghetti, it’s hard to believe how it could be so good when you see the ingredients.… garlic, tomatoes, basil, capers, anchovies, and olives. You don’t need nonsense like salt, pepper, cheese etc, and the sauce is high in sodium but quite low cal. I add chili pepper🌶 a la Gordon Ramsay. It’s a dangerous dish. Please proceed with caution ⚠️ 😂😂😂 

The advantage of protein noodles (Trident) is 7 grams carbs vs 32 grams for standard pasta. However portions are every thing and you have it perfectly on this eye appealing dish. 

have you tried the chickpea/garbanzo pasta from Banza? I honestly like it just as much as regular, it's like eating whole wheat bread vs. white bread. I like them both, they're just different. it also has ~13g protein per 2 oz dry which is quite a bit of pasta. 

Your meals always look like they come out of a magazine. What a gift. That's the way to be good to yourself. Simply amazing! 

Spark, I have been naughty this week and I simply wanted to use carby traditional pasta. I even sautéed the spaghetti noodle with olive oil to multiply my remorse with guilt! I hear you, eventually I should look at protein pasta. But this is my carb celebration week🤣 Please bear with me. 

Katsolo, you know I absolutely trust your judgment. You always strike me as a sensible, choosy eater. Since you endorse the product, I will comfortably proceed to purchase banza pasta😂 Thanks! 

ripsic, thank you, I hope I don’t appear too pretentious. I used to have a terrible time cooking just for myself, I didn’t care, and I was eating hedious stuff, mostly in my car between my assignments. Now I share my meal via photo, I began to treat food with more respect. I appreciate your company; although it’s virtual I no longer feel lonesome. 

Tai, no of course not, I can’t continue like this. It was just an experiment. I didn’t gain weight as long as I exercised and kept the calories in deficit. I also learned that I really don’t want noodle soup or sushi anymore!  

Not pretentious at all. Inspiring actually! And thank you for the kind words. Makes an old man feel good! 

Beautiful presentation. I would totally eat this and not feel bad about the carbs!  

ripsic, I will always have a special place for you at my dinner table. We will play good music (Cyndi Lauper is ok😂) and enjoy our meal together!  

Samba, thank you. If you like anchovies, I definitely recommend this spaghetti🍝 

Thanks so much yfritz! Maybe you can break out your piano and I'll bring my guitar and we can do bad Lauper covers.... time after time! 🤣🤣 

Tai, if you remember, it was churros that started this madness😂😂 Memories… yep let’s keep our calories in deficit and we will be fine. 

ripsic, there is nothing I enjoy more than duets! I didn’t know you played guitar. Acoustic? Can you play flamenco??💃🏽💃🏽🔥❤️‍🔥 

I do play and yes I play acoustic some, electric mostly. I've not tried playing flamenco, I'd love to learn how to dance like that however my two left feet would possibly be a deterrent...😔. I've played every other style besides classical however I prefer old jazz standards.🎸🕺💃🥰 

If you’re into making pasta, it’s even better fresh. I did half chickpea flour, half regular semolina. Cooked in about a minute.
