Get the pasta feel without all the pasta. Drain it, rinse it and parboil to get rid of the odor. You'll get used to the texture - I promise

Pasta Lover

For the past 6 months I have been cooking with shirataki noodles instead of regular pasta. Depending on which shirataki noodle you get, they can be anywhere from 0 to 20 cal. per serving instead of the regular 200 cal per serving for regular pasta.
They taste like any other pasta...especially love using them with the "Hungry Girl" recipe for the Fettuccine Alfredo and adding chicken or shrimp with tons of veggies!

Low Carb noodles

Shirataki Tofu noodles are a good alternative to high carb pastas. WIth only 30 calories, 0 fat, 3 carbs and 1 protein, they are a healthy choice. THey are found in the refrigerated section in 2 serving bags.
