When I chose to make the transition to a more low carb way of eating, I knew the only way I was going to get my family on board was if I kept our meals as “normal” as possible.

After all, this isn't the first “diet” I have put them through over the years, but after having great success with it over the last few months I knew this was going to be my new normal, and I wanted my family to enjoy the same health benefits that I was. 

One of my favorite dishes since I was a little girl has been spaghetti and meatballs, so I was determined to find a low carb alternative.

The first obstacle was replacing the breadcrumbs in the meatballs and the second was finding a substitute for the pasta! I was skeptical about the shirataki noodles – how on earth could a mushroom take the place of glorious pasta!? – but I was pleasantly surprised that not only did they taste very similar, but the consistency was similar as well.

They aren't quite as “al dente” as I like – but they are close enough considering they have less than 10 calories and only 1 net carb per serving!

Transitioning to a lower carb lifestyle does not have to be painful, and with a little bit of creativity, you can get pretty darn close to those traditional meals you grew up on… just a much healthier version!

These Keto Spaghetti and Meatballs are so full of flavor you won't even notice they are lacking in the carbs… that is until your clothes start getting baggy 😉
