I think the celery has fewer carbs but you're right, spaghetti squash is awesome.

I've never seen a mandolin slicer - very cool!

I prefer the celery MUCH more than spagetti squash (and I love spagetti squash).

Kevin--you and I are on the same wave length. I was looking a mandolins this morning, and then I came home and read your reply

I have heard mixed reviews about the Dreamfield's. Some folks love it, others say it is pretty gross. Don't know.

I made the celery spaghetti the other day and put some leftover meatloaf on top with extra spaghetti sauce. Mmmm. Sorry, no picture. I ate it all.

To me, Dreamfield's tastes just like regular, high carb pasta - but it doesn't spark the carb monster cravings like the regular stuff. I love it! However, I am totally intrigued by the celery pasta and will definitely try it sometime this week!

You guys are taking me down roads unimagined!!!!

I abhor celery - with deeply buried memories of my mother making creamed celery on toast...........so the flavor and texture of cooked celery is a road no longer traveled .........until now.

I WILL try this .............thank you.

For someone who seldom ate non-starchy vegetables, I am making some amazing transitions here.

What an intrigueing idea, using celery in place of pasta - I"ll have to try it!

What I usually use instead of pasta is zuchinni or yellow squash, cut in thin strips with a julienne peeler, or shredded with a salad shooter or food processor. Then I saute it lightly in a little olive oil, just enough to make it slightly limp.

Makes "squash-ta"

I guess I'm the odd man out... I used my julienne peeler and while still time consuming - it did a nice job of getting very thin strips.

However, neither my husband or I cared for this. I was really excited as the aspect of this recipe - but it actually left me with an upset stomach. Unfortunately I won't be making this again.

Such a great idea though and I'm glad to hear that it has worked for so many! *Ü*

Hi Honeyrose ~ I know I'm the odd one in that I didn't care for this. So, my advice would be to try the recipe as is and see if you like it before using it as part of another recipe... *Ü*

This sounds bizarre... but I'm going to buy some celery and give it a go! Hope I'm among the majority that liked it!
