#noodle alternative

[thindr]

shirataki noodles are fantastic. almost no calories at all, and they take on the flavor of whatever sauces and spices i cook them in. since they have very few calories, i can enjoy more calories from the sauces and proteins that i add to my meals.

“fettuccini”* with spinach and green peas (cooked up in a pan with butter and olive oil), lemon juice, nutmeg, pink himalayan salt, and black pepper, and topped with chopped walnuts and grated parmesan 

*decided to splurge and order an assorted case of nuPasta (comes with “fettuccini”, “spaghetti”, and “angel hair”), which is a starch-free, high fibre noodle alternative derived from the konjac plant. i’ve only tried this one package so far, but i was super impressed. the density wasn’t quite that of regular wheat-based pasta, but was still totally slurp-able and the texture was on par. and, at the risk of patting myself too hard on the back (haha), i had no complaints about that dish right there.

(just fyi, this post was zero percent sponsored by nuPasta. i just wanted to share my food experience with y’all. as i do. check out their website for more information, if you’re curious, or to order your own packages, if you’re so inclined.)
