Pasta Zero [View all]

Thought I would share this -- I found a great product almost by accident, just going through a grocery store and it caught my eye with the name.

Pasta Zero by Nasoya. It is a shirataki noodle - made from tofu and other stuff. It has only 40 calories in a package, which is 1 1/3 cups. It has a strange odor out of the package, but you rinse it and that goes away. Very neutral flavor, slightly softer than semolina pasta.

If you are a pasta lover like I am, this product is a big leap forward in low-cal pasta.
