Skinny Pasta 9.52 oz - The Only Odor Free 100% Konjac Noodle (Shirataki Noodles) - Pasta Weight loss - Low Calorie Food - Healthy Diet Pasta - Variety Pack - 6-Pack

I loved these! They are very reminiscent of Ramen noodles, without the calories or carbs. Texture was fine - just a bit chewier than ramen, but not much. I tasted them "plain" out of the package (rinsed first), and was surprised to find they are great! I was hesitant, and I rarely like "diet" foods, but these are amazing! I've only tied the "noodle" shaped ones so far, but.... no fishy smell at all (I've read comments on that for other brands), the texture is nice - not as chewy as I feared. I used them first in a lower calorie, low carb macaroni and cheese (substituted pureed butternut squash cooked in skim milk and chicken broth with garlic) for most of the cheese, and it was delicious! The noodle shape was a bit strange for Mac & Cheese. I with they would produce these with more variety of shapes, like regular pasta, but the taste was great. Yes, they are bland, but most pasta is. Pasta seems to be more about the sauces, and these absorb the flavor of whatever you put them in. I'll update this review when I have tried other shapes, but first run was very successful, and I'm already re-ordering, as I know I'm going to be using these in quite a few recipes.

Easy to prepare and taste good.

I’m a newbie to low-carb eating (less than one month) and am a pasta fiend. Looking for a low/no carb alternative, I ordered this variety pack. Today the craving hit me and I really wanted some fettuccine Alfredo. Apparently from reading other reviews of similar products, these can have a “smell” but there was none. Everything was sealed well. I drained water, rinsed, and put in skillet. I also added Classico Alfredo sauce and canned chicken, along with seasonings. Flavor was non existent, which is as it is supposed to be. Texture was a little unnerving (again, I’m used to wheat pasta only), but I hope it will be an acquired taste. I’m not a big mushroom fan, and that’s the closest I can think to compare texture. Good mimic for al dente pasta, but not exact same mouthfeel or chew. Due to texture, I ate more slowly and struggled to get down both servings (1 whole bag). Next time, I think I will only do one serving and maybe cook completely separately from additional ingredients. All in all, it eased my pasta craving with no net carbs and only 20 calories, so that is a big win!

Ordered this in the middle of some manic taste testing and reviewing of low/no carb pasta types and brands, and this brand is my favorite so far. The only Konjac pasta brand I have yet to try that Amazon sells is the "skinny noodles". This Skinny Pasta brand has the best taste and texture while still being easy to cook and it's the only brand Ice never ever experienced odor from. I don't really mind the konjac aroma and find it more earthy than fishy (as some people report) but certain brands do have more scent. For instance, Miracle Noodles, which are a bargain and have pretty good texture in their spaghetti style and noodles style, are a bit more odorous and that seems to get stronger as they are stored in the refrigerator as leftovers. I did not find that with the skinny pasta brand. Overall, any konjac noodle will give you a nice fresh to almost flavorless canvas for some yummy pasta sauces and are great in Asian Style dishes to replace noodles with more carbs. I have eaten various kinds every day this week and I like them every way I've tried them. This brand it's definitely worth a try, especially.

Ok, first, Konjac noodles are the absolutely best alternative to regular pasta when you are on a Keto diet or just want fewer carbs. They are full of fiber and when cooked properly, almost indistinguishable from real pasta. However, now comes the bad part, so far 1 out of every 2 packs I have opened have had rotten bad noodles. These noodles come in pouches and are sealed in liquid to keep them from drying out. I have had them before so I knew what to expect. The first pack I opened the noodles felt like a brillo pad so I opened a second pack and they were soft and al dente like pasta should be. Now I am by no means an expert, but the consistency of the two were so far apart that I didn't want to chance eating the brillo pad pasta so I tossed it and ate the good stuff, which was delicious. Bottom line, you need to be careful with items like this and while they are awesome, if there is something wrong with them you may be stuck...
