Skip the fattening and bad for you starch, and make this healthy, tasty and EASY substitute. I show you here step by step with photos (I like to see photos step by step when I do something new).

Cut the sides off to give it 4 flat sides. A little skin on it is fine.
Cut quarter inch long rectangles
Cut quarter inch strips

I put onion, garlic and bit of marinara in a skillet, then tossed the “spaghetti” in, and let it simmer to the texture I prefer. The longer in the softer of course it gets.
