17g High Protein Variety Penne, Rotini, Elbow Macaroni Pasta | 7g Low Carb Keto Pasta | Healthy, Italian Pasta From Italy | 3-Pack, 8oz - Pete's Pasta

I’m a certified pasta lover. I’m also a type 2 diabetic, and I struggle to get enough fiber on a low carb diet. Try this! Honestly, it’s so, SO good. I do cook every type an extra 5-10 minutes than the box recommends. We’ve made Alfredo, ziti, pasta salads- all of our favorites and we feel like we’re cheating. But we aren’t! It’s delicious! It’s expensive, but for me it’s definitely worth the price to eat delicious Italian meals again and genuinely enjoy it. On my way to buy our third variety pack!

So far I have only tried the elbow macaroni, but I have already ordered several more types. Unbelievably good for low carb pasta.I’ve tried so many low carb pastas and this is almost like regular pasta: the chew, the texture, the flavor. Admittedly a little less flavor than regular pasta. I know there are those who like to eat plain pasta with just some butter and salt and pepper. For those folks they might miss that flavor more than the rest of us who use different sauces and proteins with it.I used cheddar cheese powder with butter and half and half to make a cheese sauce. Wowza!Now, please don’t think this will be exactly like a handmade real Italian pasta at a nice restaurant; but this absolutely scratches the itch like no other low carb pasta I have tried. Think more of a replacement for the generic dry pasta from the supermarket that you mix up with a good sauce and some protein.Yes, it’s pricey, but worth it for this recovering carb addict.

It was nice to enjoy pasta without worrying about adding the pounds from carb loading. Very good flavor. Could tell the difference from higher carb pasta. I will say that it seemed like no matter how long you cook it, it has an al dente texture. Haven’t tried the elbows yet but will definitely review once I do.

Great product. Taste and texture just like regular pasta. Great for people with low carb diet. Only problem is a price.

TL;DR version: Tastes almost like regular pasta, but a little chalky.I tried this for its high-protein content. For a lazy meal, I'd like to just toss some pasta into a pot and pour some bottled sauce (heat in microwave if necessary), plus a simple salad. Unfortunately regular pasta doesn't have much protein, so I also need to cook some ground beef to add to the sauce. I figured with high-protein pasta, I could skip the ground beef step.I cooked Pete's rotini with the recommended amount of water until it was soft enough for my preference, which may be a little softer than some prefer (I think about 20 minutes). I noticed a small amount had disintegrated in the pot, with a white powder sticking to the side after I poured out the pot - something I don't see with regular pasta.When I ate the rotini, I liked the taste, almost like regular pasta. However it had a powdery or chalky feel on my tongue, which is the main reason I don't rate this 5 stars. I saw that the rotini was slowly disintegrating in the bowl as I ate, getting a little softer and rotini pieces melting into each other. This didn't matter eating rotini with a spoon shortly after cooking it (before it congeals into pasta pudding), but I don't know how well eating the spaghetti version with a fork would work.I think I'll stick to just regular (low protein) pasta, taking the time to cook some ground beef with it if I want the protein. But if I had some health reason why I couldn't eat regular pasta, I would definitely make this a regular part of my diet. I tried a couple of other high-protein pastas, and disliked their taste. This is the best alternate-pasta I've tried.

You have to cook it forever and the price is outrageous! That said, the taste is decent and being able to enjoy linguine without guilt makes both cost and cook time (40 min) well worth it to us. I will definitely buy this again and plan to try some of Pete’s other pasta products.

Pretty expensive for a relatively small quantity. Also, I found that it tasted fine but it had a very strange texture almost like it wasn't cooked and it took forever to cook. Probably not a future purchase for me.

pretty good for lower carb, takes a while to cook just like real pasta, good texture
