Great Low Carb Bread Co., Rotini, 8oz, Low Carb Pasta (2)

I've been eating Atkins induction/Keto for 20 years now, and until recently, had given up on trying faux-carb products. With my friends joining on the keto bandwagon, they've all been trying the new products out there, some of which are MUCH better than the stuff that came out in the late 90s/early 2000s. They recently convinced me to start trying new products with Carb-a-nada pasta (which is lowER carb, not low carb or carb free), and hits the sweet spot between being a reasonable indulgence and approximating linguine for texture and taste (given the right treatment). Having had success there, I figured I'd look for a good rigatoni, which I've missed as a sauce-delivery-mechanism. Even though this pasta was expensive, to me it would be worth it as a treat, since pasta is one of the carbs I miss the most. While the pasta came on time and looks as pictured, the taste is sorely disappointing, especially since I know that a faux pasta CAN be done. Even once I smothered it in a homemade cheese sauce (I was hoping for a mac and cheese dinner), the taste and texture could not be overcome. It's a weird mealy texture and artificial-whole-wheat taste.This review may sound harsh, so I'll add the caveats that I'm the type of person that will go without sweets rather than use artificial stuff (it tastes like an unholy disaster to me, and yes, that include xylitol and stevia and whatever else is out there). Additionally, you will NEVER hear me say that riced cauliflower "tastes just like rice," or that you "can't tell the difference" with mashed cauliflower "potatoes" (blasphemy!) . You might end up liking this product if the other "cheats" I've mentioned don't offend your palate! I'm a foodie/passionate cook, so I think I'll just go back to making creative dishes that make me forget I'm missing out on the carbs at all...

Great pasta!!!!! I was very weary about trying it because of one review that stated that it was tough. However, I just boiled it for longer and it turned out great! Texture after 20-25 minutes is al dente. I cooked it for a 5 minutes more because I like it a bit soft. I tried it tossed with a salad and it made a great pasta salad and an even greater side dish. Also the one bag makes more than the 4 servings mentioned. The rotini just expanded and I am sure it can be divided to 6 servings, or at least 5. All in all, I am quite satisfied!

I liked the pasta a lot. I made Macaroni and Cheese with it just to test it for taste, size and density. I am Italian and I have now ordered four more bags to make many Italian dishes which are low carb alternatives all the Roman dishes I grew up on.

I saw so many reviews and all over the place, so I had to try them. I am always looking for a low carb higher protein pasta option. Bring water to FULL boil first, then add desired amount, boil 15 minutes and the pasta will be tender. I put olive oil and parm cheese on mine and it satisfies my craving for pasta and tastes just fine! No after taste... just tender pasta minus high carbs. Win win for me! The package as shown ( sells for $11.00 ) yielded 3 single servings for me; basically my lunch meal. Hope this helps, will buy again.

I bought this low carb pasta because it is high in fiber and only 7 net carbs, therefore making it the perfect pasta for my diet. Every other pasta o found that I could have just didn’t give me the satisfaction of eating pasta. After having this I just ordered the combo pack. It was amazing and definitely gave me the satisfaction o was looking for. You do need to boil them longer than the bag says however. Other than that, look no further!

My family and I could not tell the difference! I boiled the entire bag, added as much water needed. I didn’t follow the instructions, just eye balled everything. I did add more water half way because it seemed to absorb a lot of water. Cooked it to my liking. Even without sauce the texture was just fine. I added butter, a little milk, a little water, and my favorite creamy sauce. Amazing! Ate a big bowl and didn’t feel heavy or bloated the next morning. Once you’ve drained the pasta, I would recommend mixing in all ingredients and cooking it in the sauce for a few minutes so everything blends in well. I’d say there’s about 4-5 servings once cooked. Would definitely buy again. Can’t wait to try other pasta shapes of theirs.

Liked it enough that I just ordered the multipack. Not as good as real durum wheat pasta but a good enough imitation when eaten with tomato or cheese-based sauce, especially if you add some protein like chicken or even meatballs.

This is a great way to get our pasta fix without all the carbs,...and it tastes great with your favorite red sauce or even just a bit of olive oil and, fresh basil chopped, a bit of Parmesan or mozzarella, and minced garlic
