I do this and you're right, a good old fashioned dish of spaghetti and red sauce it's not, but it does okay. Also with shrimp, garlic and red pepper and olive oil.
I do still eat some pasta, I've been making whole wheat and it does have a denser, nutty flavor I like. And I eat less of it, which is good. For me, I guess, it is much more filling.
Chocolate, I can wean myself from. Cheese has been the hardest as bread. I love good artisan bread and I'm within smelling distance of several good bakeries and (unfortunately) 2 really fine French Patisseries.
Today, I had a stuffed portabello from Mollie Stones (sort of like Bristol Farms). It was decent, but it gave me a great idea to make my own version, with much less cheese (parmasan instead, more bang for the flaor buck) and stuff with cous cous and roasted mushrooms and other veggies.
