Great Low Carb Bread Co. Rotini Pasta 8 oz. Low Carb Pasta, Organic, Kosher, No GMO, Make Mac n Cheese, Cold Pasta Salads

This is the best low carb pasta I’ve tried. The others were either too mushy or gritty. The one made from lupini beans hurt my stomach for weeks. This is the only one that’s so good as a keto Mac n cheese or low carb Alfredo, and no digestive issues. I love it !!!

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...

I have been wanting a real low carb, high protein pasta. This works well enough. I would definitely get it again and recommend it. A few thoughts:Pros:- Truly low net carb. 25 grams of carbs per serving, but 18 of that are fiber. So you are looking at 7 net carbs, far lower than other pastas that are higher in protein- High fiber makes this very filling- Taste is not bad. Fairly neutral. When mixed with the right stuff, it really does take on those flavors- They thicken up quite a bit, so the serving size makes sense once you have cooked it. The dry size is deceiving!Not really Cons, more comments:- The texture is clearly not of pasta. It is stiffer than pasta, but passable- 10 minutes cooking time is not enough. I had to cook mine for 15 minutes easy. I probably could have cooked it longer, but I got nervous- Everyone probably wishes things were cheaper than they are. This is definitely lower priced than other brands I saw. And much pricier than regular pasta for sure. I wish it was a bit cheaper, but I plan on buying again.Overall a really good buy.

Apparently I overcooked these and the noodles got mushy and fell apart. The Al dente was too firm. The flavor wasn’t great besides the texture quality. I e had better luck with the macaroni noodles. I’ll try another brand. For a wide keto noodle.

If you’re looking for a low carb pasta, this one is good. Of course it can’t be exactly like the real thing but it gets close. Make sure you boil for at least 15 minutes. The package only says 10 minutes abs I found that is too little. The pasta will be very crunchy at 10 minutes. First night, I used the pasta with a meat sauce and it was decent. Then I tried it with Mac and cheese (as pictured) and that was much better. I think the Mac and cheese has a strong enough flavor to cover up the flavor of the pasta so all you’re left with is the texture which is good if you boil for at least 15 minutes. Although it is a bit pricey for the quantity it will definitely help with high carb pasta cravings. Happy eating.

I recommend cooking a bit longer than the directions recommend but if you just keep going, you can reach al dente. I’m referring specifically to rigatoni this time. The Linguine didn’t work, broken in package and worse after boiling. But the rotini, penne, and elbow have all been great! My husband and I are so happy to finally have Italian back in our rotation, not shiritaki nor palmini and I never liked spiraled zucchini (yuk) at least as a pasta sub. This is actual pasta and if you didn’t tell company, at best they may think it just wasn’t cooked quite long enough but again, with patience even that can be remedied. I do season my pasta water with garlic powder and a bit of salt to help with (what others have dubbed) the powdery texture/flavor. All that can be fixed!! Keep trying.Price wise, my hubby can eat one bag of pasta over two nights, 4 meals with a homemade sauce. We would spend easily that much at a restaurant and since I make my own sauce with canned tomatoes, basil, and garlic.. it’s really not that much overall.I highly recommend!
