***USE Unsweetened almond or cashew milk to Cook!!!
The trick is low calorie *Unsweetened coconut milk or cashew milk* (25-30 calories per 1 cup)! Forget a bunch of other high calorie sauces/dressings, which just make it taste artificial & negates the low calorie appeal…the low cal milk makes the taste, texture, & appearance exactly like buttery pasta…I’ve cooked these for my parents and my own family numerous times this way and they love them! I heat my pan up between medium/hot…spray a bit of PAM. Drain & dry the noodles (I use 3 bags at a time - 27 calories total) & start w/ some seasonings (onion butter seasonings & dash of salt). I incrementally pour in my low calorie cashew milk at 1/4 cup at a time, stir, & once the milk evaporates, I repeat the process until I use a total of 1 cup for 3 bags of noodles. I lower the temp down a bit about halfway through…it’s usually about 15 mins on the pan to get them soft & buttery like real pasta. I’m stirring the majority of the time. Near the end of the process, I sprinkle on some low fat feta and stir until evenly distributed. Makes about 6 servings at a grand total of 20 calories per serving.Alternatively, I do the same process if I want Mac & cheese, but instead of feta like I do for above recipe, I use a 0 calorie Mac&cheese seasoning - believe it’s technically a popcorn topper, but works just as well for this) & sprinkle on a bit of fat free skim shredded cheddar cheese (a little less than 1/4 cup at 40 calories distributed over 6 servings). Literally tastes like velveeta for about 10 calories per serving.If you want an even more buttery taste, use a couple of drops of butter extract for each of these recipes. You will never miss the real stuff again once you cook these bad boys the right way!

Great for Keto!
I normally HATE konjac pasta, I don’t know why this brand is different but I like it a lot. No, it doesn’t taste like fettuccine, but it’s a decent alternative if you want something that resembles noodles. I’ve had it with soy sauce, pesto, marinara sauce and in a chicken broth with chicken to make a very quick soup. I normally soak it in hot water for a while after rinsing, and then microwave it with the sauce. No gastrointestinal issues either. Can’t say that with other brands I’ve tried. I highly recommend this one!

Could be a problem
We are new to a Gluten Free diet, so we were excited to find this possible substitute. Buyer beware! We read reviews before purchase, so we were on the look out for questionable bags. Ordered a 6 pack of angel hair and a 6 pack of Fettuccini. Made it through 2 bags of the Angel hair before finding a questionable bag, dumped that. Fast forward a few weeks, made some Fettuccine Alfredo with 2 bags, out of bag looked great, threw it in with my warm sauce and served it up. Tasted off, not like the Angel Hair, and it was very rubbery. Funny thing is after going back through our food journals, we noticed when we ate the Angel Hair, we both experienced intestinal discomfort and all the things with that afterwards. After the dinner of fettuccine, we were both up in the middle of the night with problems. Did some more investigating, and found that the Konjac root products can be highly indigestible for certain individuals. Found that if you eat a lot of it, there can be intestinal blockages. Not sure how to process all this. Seems a shame to waste the rest of this, but we most definitely do not want to go through that again. I would love to get in touch with the company, but their website does not have a customer service number or email, only contacts for orders and shipments. All I can say is do your research and maybe find a single bag in the store and try it out before you sub out.

Convenient!
These little pasta packs are so convenient! Great for nights when you don’t want to wait for noodles to cook. I think they would be amazing for camping too! The taste and texture are different from traditional noodles but not in a bad way. My husband prefers these over regular noodles, he loves them!

Not satisfied with some Skinny Pasta!!!
Great, although some Skinny pasta's are not cooked and it's impossible to try to boil them to cook them. Had to return 2 full boxes of uncooked pasta. Very frustrating!!!!

Great for gluten free or low carb diets
Love this! Tasty. One bag is plenty to serve 2 people for a full meal. Best if soaked in your sauce in your sauce pan for 10 minutes. Texture is much better than just gluten free pasta.

No flavor
No flavor but good for adding to sauces.

Excellent product
The taste and texture of the angel hair is excellent. I like how it’s precooked and the health benefits. Used it as a noodle for hot pot and another occasion making uni miso carbonara. Definitely a keeper.
