SKINNY PASTA Spaghetti - Healthy Konjac Shirataki Noodles, Low Carb Keto Pasta, Gluten Free, 6 Pack

So here’s my story. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 12 yrs ago. As a restauranteur (40 yrs recently retired) it was a challenge to stay on point taking care of myself, food being my Achilles heel. Over time I tried everything I came across to mimic or recapture tastes and textures I love that I really can’t have without a price. I have tried so many things to recapture the taste/feel etc of my beloved noodles. Pasta, Cellophane, Ramen … you get the idea. I’ve spent hundreds of $ buying every product, trying every recipe I could find with unfortunately miserable results. There seemed to be nothing that wasn’t a disappointment. They smelt bad, were mushy or had an unpleasant aftertaste. Then the cravings would take over so I’d rationalize, have a meal or 2 or more and the BG police would show up. (Diabetics will get that.)After hours on Amazon searching, checking stars and reading reviews, buying products, and filling my garbage bags I stumbled upon Konjac noodles. The ratings were in the usual zone of most like them but… like - Not for me, no taste, packaging problems, to expensive… But their were the others and the pictures that resembled almost a ramen cellophane noodle and here I go again $.I returned from the gym starving and the box was sitting by the door. I grabbed it read everything and realized all I really had was a little bit of a lot of stuff. I had a can of low salt stewed tomatoes, 2 older green onions, a handful of spinach, and about 6 mushrooms , and couple of day old chunks of a steak dinner. Into the sauté pan with you all. A bit of butter, olive oil, garlic, seasonings and spices with the last teaspoon of a tube of tomato paste squeezed out with a wood spoon handle. Rinse the noodles 3 times in warm water, shake the water out, toss in another pan with a tad of evvo to temp and combine. Taste buds drum roll, thinking how I’m gonna eat the sauce from around the noodles when I don’t like them and BAM!Did I just like them? Wait, what, again, and again and again. Their not mushy, they don’t smell, their kind of wait, their al dente. Holy smokes did I just find something I’ve been looking for for 12 years? A darn sure did and I enjoyed the heck out of them.Are they a perfect substitute. Nope, they don’t really have any particular flavor. But that’s ok. They also don’t absorb the liquid around them but maybe if I sauté them a bit more or ensure my sauces are thicker, who cares. I really like them. And then the options start rolling through my mind. Ramen soup, stir fry, pad woon zen, scampi…The price isn’t low, but I’ll deal with that. Just look at that nutritional information, my diabetes monster can just shut the hell up. I’ve found something I really enjoyed and that’s enough for me.If you try them I hope they work out as well for you as they did for me. - Cheers!Oh and I just found a recipe for Crazy Keto Dough, wish me luck!

These are quite good, follow instructions and rinse well before heating/cooking. It still puzzles me that persons will give a bad review for a realistic honestly good product, because they did not educated themselves on that product. Its Konjac, in different shapes/styles it never claimed to be rice grains or any other thing. If you don't need konjac to maintain a low carb diet or curb cravings, then don't buy it then argue its not flour or rice. We need to research what we are putting into our bodies, than eating things with blind and unrealistic expectation. Konjac is a basically a root vegetable that's mainly fibers that the body can not digest so it passes right through you and helps you feel full without the carbs. the Japanese has been eating it for centuries.Also please note that in some rare cases some persons can have difficulty passing konjac, so please research your new foods before you eat them.I love the noodles saute'd with oyster sauce a protein and/or vegetable

I am a long time consumer of shirataki noodles of all shapes and sizes. There are a lot of brands available, and most are nearly the same. SO if you have never had shirataki (konjac root) noodles, then please know that they are not the same as traditional pasta. They all have a rubbery texture. If you are really desperate to reduce cals and carbs, these are worth the try. I find them enjoyable, especially in soups, simple veg/protein dishes, and Asian cuisine preparations. I have never cared for it prepared in Italian cuisine. It doesnt work for me. It is ok is used to cut into the traditional pasta (maybe like 50-50 of each). Taste is neutral, and while this brand has zero odor, many other brands do. If you find that any of them have an odor, just be sure to rinse well. Problem fixed.So I bought this specific brand after trying their ultra magical Skinny Pasta cups of Soup . It somehow doesnt taste or feel like a shirataki product that is truly reduced in sodium (80 mg). It makes a lot, and hits the spot- fills my belly with very little calories, and feels glorious to consume on a cold winter day. I digress.. but I cant help but goosh my love for it. Pricy, but so good. So because it is so pricy, I figured maybe I could make my own cup of soup using their noodles. I wanted theirs because another brand I decided to try was absolutely terrible (I say they are nearly all the same, but occasionally a terribad one slips through. I do not recommend any version of ASIN:B07ZVDP46K shirataki noodles]] )).Well, these dont quite fit what I am looking for, BUT they are very good as far as shirataki noodles go. I eat a bowl of them as I write this review. I emptied the packet into a strainer, gave them a good rinse, then placed them in a bowl of with boiled water. Then I drained, added low sodium broth powder, other seasonings, dehydrated vegetables. Let it sit, then have been eating it like a bowl of soup. All for like 25 calories! I may try their spaghetti shape to see if I can get this closer to their Skinny Pasta soup. But really, I will likely have to just buy more of their soup. Which is amazing. If they can make some shirtaki noodles that mimic what they use in their soup.. oh my.In the mean time, this is pretty good.

Yes, the konjac noodles smell a little odd, but if you follow the instructions on the pouch, you will have no trouble and no "off taste" or bad smell. All that being said, they certainly are not pasta noodles, and marinara sauce will not hold/absorb very well at all. I like to use them with a peanut sauce, I like to put them in skillet scrambles, I like to put them in big green mixed salads. Mostly I like them in these ways because I need to curb my appetite before it gets ahead of me and high-volume, low-calorie foods like this are excellent resources. I have these on regular order.
