for the pasta lover, I think this may be on the right road to an alternative.  i substituted agave syrup for honey just to make it more insulin friendly.  it is a recipe that i will prepare again only when i have pasta lovers in my house.  I think maybe it had a little to do with the unique (slightly bitter) taste of the soba noodles.  Oh, and i think i will give it one more chance with some spelt soba noodles i saw at capers!
