I Kiss the Makers of Bella Vita Pasta!
God, it's great stuff - and only 10 effective carbs per serving. My
two things I really missed were honey (& some kind soul here steered me toward's Steeles LC 'honey,' which is not great, but really helps when the craving hits) and pasta pasta pasta - I was leery of this pasta after other miserable attempts to LC delicious things, but this stuff is awesome and cheap - $2.19 for a box of penne. I found that you need to cook it a little longer than the 10 mins. recommended for proper al dente toothiness without undercooking, then add any LC sauce or just butter & aged Parmigianno - heaven!! |

Here's their website. I haven't tried the stuff, but this post inspired me to do a little googling: http://www.bellavistafarm.com/pasta.asp Carol Seeing that this is sold as regular pasta, not LC, I'd be very skeptical of the carb count of 10g. They don't have any nutritional info on the website. What is the serving size and the rest of the numbers? The best pasta I've found is Darielle, which is 10g per 3/4 cup dry serving. Regular pasta is in the 40g range. I'm having a hard time believing a pasta could be only 10g and sold as a regular pasta with no tradeoff in taste. The Darielle is the only one I've found that is edible, and it's still a long way from regular pasta. |

There is no such thing as good-tasting low carb pasta, AFAIK. YMMV-J |

They have 1 g fat, 40mg Sodium, 18G Carbs, 8G Fiber, 3G Sugars, 28G Protein & are made of defatted soy flour, pasteurized egg white, rice flour, wheat gluten & isolated soy proteins. I beg to differ, but I believe they are telling the truth. |

Serving size is also 3/C dry (it really plumps up in water, so cooked is much larger, as with all pastas) & it tastes pretty darn good! |
