So, chicken piccata. With or without pasta. If with what kind?

That's a good topic @Behr. It's obviously great with angel hair cause all you need is something to pick up some of the sauce.

But if you prefer not to eat pasta, for whatever reason, what are good options?

Discuss.

I'd have angel hair or linguine, their both the right size and I just prefer them over fettuccine made with egg. I haven't used any but the almond flour pasta is supposedly pretty good. Of course the zucchini noodles and squash spaghetti are popular, but I don't care for them.

Black beans would be good. I love cous cous too.

I tried the zucchini (thank you for spelling that for me) noodles, and while they are good for what they are, they're no substitute for pasta. Tried chickpea pasta a while back. Not a fan.

It's hard to find something flavorless enough to use in place of it. Seems the more flavorful the main component is, the easier it is though. I love "nacho toppings" over shredded lettuce. And asian stuff is easy, either cabbage or cauliflour is a great replacement for fried rice.

A lot of it is just what you are used to isn't it.

No, there's no substitute for pasta and I hate giving alternatives that I don't like. Lulz. I don't like any of that crap to replace my pasta.

Do you make your own?

I hate lulz, but I overlook it when people use it.

I used to hate it too. Now its like not a full blown Lol, but bigger than a haha. Lulz.

 

[Behr]

Not often.

Then you just got lazy and started using it, like people do pasta?

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Not often.

I like it a lot better, but have to be in mood to make it.

It is so good. I haven’t made it in a long time. I think it is fun to make.

Do you have the attachments for mixer or crank? It is fun, just time consuming.

Attachments.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Attachments.

I have both, attachments make it a little easier. First time I made it, I didn’t have either.

What’s wrong with lulz?

People get lazy and stop using pasta? What are we talking about?

Old school.

Old school.

Wasn’t the prettiest,

 

[vollygirl]

Too lazy to think of an alternative. Duh.

 

[vollygirl]

What’s wrong with lulz?

Nothing if you like it.

 

[Behr]

Too lazy to think of an alternative. Duh.

I'm lost. I gave a few alternatives. Almond flour pasta, Zucchini, squash, black beans, cous cous. Want more?

 

[Behr]

I prefer dried pasta 99% of the time. Just a personal taste. I like the flavor and the texture better most always. I don't hate fresh made pasta, I just prefer a quality dried one. GOL.

Nope.
