Tasty pasta for diabetes, gluten allergies or just trying to lose weight

I love pasta, in fact I love all carbohydrates.  About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes and since then I have found it difficult to find satisfying, low calorie, healthy foods. When my doctor told me that I had to cut down on carbohydrates and lose weight i went on a search to find new ways to enjoy my meals and cook my favorite recipes. I have tried many different recipes and foods from different countries- some good and some not so good.  Recently I have discovered Skinny Pasta.  It  is made from the Konjac plant from china, it contains something call "Glocumnan" which allows it to absorb liquids up till 200x its size.  It is not new, in fact in the far east these noodles have been a common part of their diet.  In China it is known as JOYO or  MOYO  and in Japan it is know as SHIRATKI or  KONIAKO.  All I can say is its good, and easy to make.  More importantly it is healthy, fat free, gluten free,and cholesterol free. I have been able to substitute them in for all of my pasta recipes.  Just cook them in whatever sauce you  are making and it absorbs the tastes.  Here is a recipe that I found and have been eating. I hope you like and that if you are like me, a person who loves to eat but has been told to make it healthier, you will be able to enjoy some of your favorite foods again.

Toasted Eggplant Spaghetti with Tomato and Olives

Ingredients:

1 pack SkinnyPasta

200 grams eggplant, cut into small cubes

400 grams crushed tomato

1 garlic clove, chopped

1/2 red onion, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 olive oil spray

1/4 cup of water

Directions:

Spray a cooking dish with olive oil. Put the eggplants on the dish and bake in 180°c(356° f) for 5-8 minutes. Follow the instructions and cook the SkinnyPasta. In a pan, add olive oil and fry the garlic, then add the onion. Add the tomato and the water and let it boil. When boiling, cook on back burner and add the eggplant. Cook until the sauce is thick and add the olives and the SkinnyPasta. Toss and stir so the sauce will cover the pasta.

The most important thing- I have lost weight Skinny Pasta only has 9 calories -less than what your body needs to digest- so you can eat a lot!!!

Please let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas for how to cook them - I am always looking for good recipes.
