Zero Carb Pasta

Good luck! Contains just fibre and water, sounds like a constipation cure to me!
 
You can also pop courgettes through a spiraliser to get a serviceable veggie spaghetti too...also, Tesco do it ready processed and packed, along with the cauliflower cous-cous.

It's also only £1.
 
I did cougette noodles with our new spiriliser and had them in a stir fry. Really couldn't tell the difference. They were amazing.
 
I've just eaten this 'carb free' fettuccine for lunch and whilst it was ok, I struggled with the thicker, chewier consistency. The smell when opened is off-putting (fishy) so quickly wash it several times in cold water.

I dry fried it after mixing a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice into it. My hubbie actually liked it better than me but in honesty I think it was that initial smell that put me off.

Worth a try though but I'm reserving judgement until I see what impact it had on my BG's 🙂
 
Well it certainly didn't spike me at all so a good stand-by though I won't become an ardent fan of the carb free pasta. I felt it was more suited as Chinese noodles and a stronger sauce would enhance it better than tomato and basil.
 
Hmm, I've not tried this but I have tried Atkins pasta which is expensive but I actually enjoyed that. I couldn't even tell it was low carb pasta. Maybe that's because it's low carb NOT zero carb? Might give this a go!
 
I've had the zero carb pasta and it was OK, but then I'm not a great fan of actual pasta so I was never going to be that thrilled. Do love a courgette noodle mind, eat loads of courgette, even have them on my salad, and I'm a fan of brocolli cous cous (I love a green veggie) :D

ooh, broccoli cous cous sounds good. Is that like Cauliflower rice? Do you fry it or steam it Kooky?
 
I got some bare naked noodles today from sainsburys. No carbs or sugar. They look like worms lol. So I'm trying them tonight in a stir fry!!
 
Think they are mainly all the Shitake noodles - which everyone I know who has tried em, say are completely taste and texture-less and they'd rather have eg home-made courgette tagliatelle or cauli rice with whatever. Each to their own !
 
Pat - coeliacs have to eat gluten free, not carb-free. Hence the need/market for anything 'wheat-free' - but how many carbs, which is what we all have to watch out for?
 
Trying all sorts to see if they spike my blood sugar or not. I admit I sank to a desperation mode this afternoon at my sons and munched a jaffa cake.

A Jaffa cake only has 8.6 g of carb in each Pat so a reasonable treat (if you can stop at one!) 😳
 
I can't stop at one.😳
 
Me neither Mark *sigh*
