SKINNY PASTA Variety Pack - Healthy Konjac Shirataki Noodles, Low Carb Keto Pasta, Gluten Free, 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...

The taste of these konjac pasta noodles aren't bad. For konjac, they surprisingly have no smell and are easy to use! Compared to other products they also have a longer shelf life and don't have to be stored in the refrigerator (which is probably appealing for a lot of shoppers). They are great for people on low-carb diets and vegans/vegetarians because they are low-carb and do have some nutritional value (mainly fiber). Everything is good for those points! BUT I'm kind of skeptical of them because they are made in China (don't get me wrong their products are getting better and better) AND their recipe for lasagna sucked and basically made me waste 2 packs of lasagna noodles. It came out too watery and required a lot more time to bake than what was recommended... The lasagna noodles are also particularly hard to work with because they will shrivel up when put in the pan. After cleaning them, I recommend laying them out first to preshape. Overall a decent product but I probably won't buy it again.

I don't write too many reviews, but this one is deserved. Taste and texture are as advertised. The texture is closer to cellophane or glass noodles than pasta, but I like those, so we're good! These have few calories and no carbs, so from what I am hearing from Youtube doctors, they will not break your intermittent fast or raise your blood sugar. Broccoli and cauliflower fall into the same category, so if you steam up some veggies, and fix these noodles as instructed, you have an Asian-style noodle meal that is filling, while at the same time your body thinks you're fasting! I use some soy sauce, spices, and snips of fresh chives or other herbs. Be cautious using any fats or seasoned rice vinegar--lots of hidden sugar in that! If you're doing intermittent fasting, you can have a good sized lunch late morning or noontime, then when it's time for your early dinner, have these noodles with broc or cauli, and you'll be 'fasting' for long periods of time. Plus you get plenty of fiber. These can be a great secret weapon for an effective keto diet.

A little smaller than anticipated, but so far it seems to have delivered on what was promised. I would have like it to be a little more for how expensive it is and I only cooked one dish so far with the fettuccini ones that turned out a bit too chewy, but it tasted good and is the first 'noodle' I've gotten to eat in 3 years. I just with the 'variety' pack was noodles, fettuccini and rice instead. Update: I've made two dishes now and I have to say, I like how they leave me feeling satisfied and my stomach full without being heavy. I still wish rice had been one of the options in the variety pack though as the spaghetti ones are simply like a thicker version of the noodle shapes so you essentially get two of the same thing. I prefer my noodle on the thinner side so the noodle shape is more practical for me than the spaghetti to keep, if one were to change I'd say switch the spaghetti out for rice. It'd be a great variety pack then. It seems good so far, will most likely buy again but I do want to try the rice kind as well.
