Spaghetti squash makes a pretty solid pasta substitute. I was skeptical at first, but it really does work well - mix with your favorite pasta sauce (I use cheese and tomato sauce).
It has far less less calories per gram than regular pasta. 100 grams is only ~31 cals vs ~370 calories in pasta.
It is very easy to make. Cut a Spaghetti Squash in half, put cut side down, bake at 375-400 for one hour. Scrape with fork.
