There is no "low carb" Dreamfields pasta. It's the regular stuff.
Dreamfields has a process that does something to the pasta so that only
5 mg of carbs are absorbed by the body. Their pasta tastes (and is)
regular pasta.

My DH does quite well with it but some DMs have been known to spike on
it as late as 5 hours post-prandial. He can't do Carb-Quick as his BGs
spiked when I made him some biscuits. Everyone is different.

We don't eat the full 2 oz serving of Dreamfields. Usually 3 ounces dry
between the 2 of us. I make my own sauce as follows.

Sautee a clove of minced garlic and a little chopped onion in a
tablespoon of oilve oil. Add a regular-sized can of tomato puree,
crushed or finely diced tomatoes. If you have any fresh parsley, chop
some and add it. If not, add about a tablespoon of dried parsley.
Season with dry basil, a little salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes if
you have them. Simmer for as long as it takes to boil the water and cook
the pasta. Add a pinch of oregano to the sauce, stir and taste for
seasonings. I like to grate in some imported Peccorino Romano and
Parmesagna Reggiano.

Making fresh tomato sauce is not such a big deal. It's cheaper than
buying a jar and not much of a bother.
