Low Carb Pasta, Great Low Carb Bread Company, 8 oz. (Elbows) (Original Version) (Original Version)

Ok after reading the good and bad reviews I got it. I followed some advice from other reviewers and under cooked the pasta. Cooked a serving for 6 minutes in sea salted water instead of 8 minutes. pasta tends to continue to cook after you take it off the heat. After draining I added 3 slices of American cheese and a piece of mozzarella combined it and let it cook in the hot pasta until it melted. served in a bowl and added a bit of black pepper ... Well this has to be the best tasting mac and cheese I ever had! similar to regular macaroni it retained its shape fairly well! I think the cheese over powered any other flavor the pasta was giving out which to me wasn't much. but the texture was like al dente a bit firm but tender. Its the was to go with this pasta any more boiling and you get mush. No weird tastes or smells. I will be getting some more but it would have to be like a treat thing because the price is expensive. The product is from California so everything over there is becoming expensive and they pass it on to the consumer... oh well. If you like mac And cheese and are on Keto... this pasta will do my friend.

Well, I wanted to give low carb pasta a try for my diabetic husband, so I read the reviews and took a stab at it by ordering these pasta elbows. Last night was their debut in a chicken & noodles dish. I cooked them in the seasoned broth I had after boiling the chicken, then added the boned chicken, chopped green chiles (I live in New Mexico and we use green chiles in lots of our dishes!), and a can of cream of chicken soup. I let it cook on a low boil about 20 minutes or so, then turned it down on low while I went on an errand. When I returned to a delicious smell, my husband already had the lid off and was filling a bowl for himself. It was very tasty and we both enjoyed it. These noodles look a little different from regular noodles before you cook them, but they soften and cook up nicely in a dish such as I made. I haven't tried mac and cheese with them, but maybe next time ...

I made mac n' cheese with this and it was different, but it was good. The only drawback I found was that as I reheated the leftovers, the mac n' cheese got gummier. So I recommend making small batches - I was surprised at how big a batch this 8 oz. bag made.

BEWARE!I'll make this brief... and I don't even usually take the time to write reviews... but I felt compelled to inform people about this product.I purchased the elbow macaroni noodles... and was VERY hopeful, especially after reading the reviews.The taste was actually good. Not great... but good. And since doing Keto, I having been craving macaroni and cheese. So I did make a great mac 'n' cheese dish with these noodles. And it did sort of 'hit the spot.'No wonder they tasted so good... they are loaded with carbs! Like many 'low carb' keto foods, snacks, etc... the nutritional label is hardly accurate, downright deceiving. (Keto tip: DO NOT always believe the nutritional labels on these sort of products!)I always have high Ketones and check them literally 3 times a day. Usually averaging from 3.0 to 4.5. (I also do intermittent fasting)***After eating these noodles, (1/4 serving), my ketones dropped from 3.9 to 1.0! The noodles literally almost knocked me entirely out of ketosis! Needless to say, I felt duped. And will never buy these again. ***If I am going to get knocked out of ketosis, and cheat, it will be with REAL noodles. I am Italian, after-all. :)I hope this helps potential buyers...Cheers!DJ

Didn't taste bad. Completely fell apart upon cooking, so you will not be able to use them in most dishes requiring formed pasta. Way too expensive to have this outcome, though, so I will not buy them again.

Best low carb noodles we have EVER had. These definitely curbed my mac and cheese craving. Slightly different texture than normal pasta but not by much. Made a baked mac and cheese and it turned out fantastic. I will definitely buy these again! Keto-friendly with only 7 net carbs per 2oz serving (that is a SMALL serving btw only 1/4 cup lol)! These taste so good that I could totally sit down and munch on them until it was all gone, BUT with only 20 carbs a day... I can't really do that so these are used as a side dish to my dinner meal on the days that I have most of my carbs left to eat these yummy noodles! I use them as an added "treat" to my meal, not as a meal in it's self and I don't go over the serving size. I also only cook as much as we are going to use at the time, I do not cook the entire bag at once (we only use 4 oz at a time which is 2 servings). Yes, let's address the price... it IS pricey for the small amount you get, BUT if you only eat the 2oz serving (I'll admit it is hard to do because they are so good, but have a little self-control would ya lol) at a time so it does last longer than a one-time thing and when you can't eat normal carbohydrate pasta you'll pay a little more for some comfort food! I HIGHLY recommend these... to ANYONE! Not just fellow keto-ers!
