Eat Water Slim Fettuccine - Shirataki, Zero Carbohydrates & Sugar-Free, Made from Organic Konjac Flour, Low-Calorie Vegan, Keto & Paleo-Friendly - 270g (Pack of 5)

I love these. I'm a big fan of shirataki pasta/rice in general, but so far this shape is my favourite. Yes, they're completely tasteless on their own - you're not supposed to eat them that way! Rinsed *thoroughly* (to get rid of the odd smell) and cooked in a nice spicy pasta sauce these are brilliant in my opinion, and you save hundreds of calories as opposed to eating regular pasta. I also have celiac disease which means I can't actually eat regular wheat pasta, and while this is still a lot more expensive than "normal" corn/rice based gluten free pastas, I think the fact that they're practically calorie free is worth it.I remember the first time I had some shirataki noodles a few years ago, the texture seemed a little weird at first, but I certainly didn't think they were disgusting. I think it helps that I cook them thoroughly, letting them soak in the flavours of whatever spicy sauce I'm using. Also, dry frying them first before adding the sauce might help. Anyway, as long as you don't expect these to be exactly like the pasta you normally eat, and you rinse them well and add a nice spicy sauce, these are fabulous.For those who don't like these, but would still like to have some low cal/healthy "pasta" - try "zoodles", aka zucchini/courgette noodles. They're another favourite of mine, and courgettes are actually very cheap and nutritious!

Is this a perfect replacement for regular Pasta... No, however it is diet food, and for a low calorie replacement it great!A couple of negative points, there is a smell when you first open the packets, however, this disappears after thorough washing in cold water. The texture is a little "rubbery" (not terribly so) but as someone who is particular about the texture of their food it has never bothered me.I eat this with a little sauce as a meal each day and has been a big help in weight loss (combined with other changes of course), if it were as bad as some reviews say I definitely wouldn't!

OK, listen everyone: I love pasta. Nay, I adore pasta! If I could, I would marry pasta and run off to the sunset. Which is pretty much what got me in the position of having to diet to lose weight. I went on a low-carb diet and I saw immediate results, for which I'm quite happy. However, even though the chocolate and sugar cravings went away after the first week, I craved pasta every day. Heck, I dreamt I was eating pasta! Enter, this product.First things first, of course this is not pasta. It's something that looks a lot like it, but it doesn't have a taste on its own and the texture is different and quite odd to be honest.But, if cooked properly, according to the instructions on the pack, and with a lot of nice, homemade sauce, vegetables and some lean protein, they become a lovely addition to a healthy, low-carb meal. They definitely make me feel full and I believe that to an extent they trick my brain into thinking I had carbs, if that makes sense.You need to get used to the texture, at first it is very odd. They are somewhat chewy, but the absorb the taste of the rest of the dish, which makes them altogether pleasant. Don't try the penne version, it's horrific! That's because penne are essentially a thick piece of shirataki cut in penne shape, and the thicker the shirataki, the more chewy it is. But fettuccine and spaghetti are thin, minimising the odd texture.The other thing is, they are very expensive indeed.All in all, I personally feel that they are an invaluable aid to my diet so I am sticking to them. They are not for everyone. And they do need proper preparation and a good, tasty sauce. I've grown to love them and I'm sure they can potentially help other people like me with their effort to lose weight.

It does smell strange it’s true but when you rinse it and cover in a sauce they are great, nice texture too. If you want to reduce calories then this is for you.

smelly but tasted bland and i got gut ache the day after

Amazing. I didn't find the smell when opening that fishy, and a quick rinse sorted it out. So versatile and now can have some lovely tomato sauces on top. Something I had to forgo previously as can't eat carb heavy pastas anymore.
