One of the major pasta brands once tried to market diet spaghetti. It was the regular stuff with a smaller quantity in the package with instructions to cook it longer to make it absorb more water and swell up larger.
Don’t laugh..Hershey’s is making a chocolate bar now that has air injected into it..I don’t believe it has any less calories but they can charge you more for getting less..
Does it come with sauce? I always add 3 fresh bay leafs in my sauce and fresh basil. You don’t even need meat balls or spaghetti. Crusty french bread will do!!

I add a bay leaf or two to pasta when I boil it. Adds a nice flavour without salt.

Thanks! I’m going to give it a try.

Some people say it’s to add flavor, some say it’s to affect the boiling. Personally, I think it’s just an old habit that people refuse to break.

If I break the spaghetti in half, will I only have 1/2 the calories?
