Carbe Diem!, Chef’s Kiss Sample Pack, Spaghetti, Penne & Elbow, 55% Fewer Net Carbs with Traditional Flavor & Texture, Chef's Kiss Sample Pack (Spaghetti, Penne, Elbows)

I was not expecting much—most low-carb pastas taste like disappointment with a side of cardboard. But this? This one shocked me. The texture is just a bit firmer than your usual pasta, like it could’ve used one more minute of boiling... but that’s where the complaints end.Flavor-wise? Spot-on. No weird aftertaste, no funky smell, just actual pasta. I dressed mine up with butter, garlic, and some homemade pesto, and it was so good I did a happy dance (yes, literally).If you're trying to cut carbs without cutting joy, this pasta might just be your new best friend.

I love this pasta. the only thing that bothers me is that there is not a way to track the calories by weight after you've cooked the pasta. so the only made a know how many calories your consuming is to make single portions with the box. i usually make the whole box at one time and then eat it or meal prep it. but that's my only complaint.I love this and it tastes really good. i don't see why anybody would want to have normal pasta.When you can have this cause it's less calories and more fibers, so it's better for you.

I haven’t done keto diet in about 3 years. 3 years ago the keto noodles they had available tasted like gritty toothpaste. I found these and saw they had the most consistent review on amazon. I had to try them. For 14.99 I was skeptical, so I was gunna be quick to return it if it was gross. I followed the instructions on the box, but only cooked them 1/2 way as I was making a baked pasta then put them in the oven. I had taste tested one to see what the texture was like prior to putting it in the oven. It passed the test. My wife is a chef, and I gave her a bite of the noodles with sauce and a bite of regular noodles and she said there was barely a difference and she has a very refined pallet. Hands down 100% great. This is one of the only 5 star reviews I’ve given on amazon. Great product for low carb dieters and keto diet.

I am moderately impressed with Carbe Diem pasta. It has the shape and a much better mouth feel than shirataki, hearts of palm, and perhaps even edamame pasta alternatives, which makes it more appealing in the first place. But there are some significant differences between the Carbe Diem pasta, and other standard pastas. Price is the first thing...Carbe Diem is definitely more expensive than regular pasta, but, if I want to indulge in a pasta dish, I find the price completely acceptable. I can't seem to get the cooking time down yet, and while I cook Carbe Diem pasta in excess of 16 minutes, I find that it is still pretty chewy. Not a problem for me, but there it is. Lots of fiber with this pasta, which I personally find tends to produce a significant amount of bloating and gas. Again, this is pretty acceptable because, you know, PASTA, and I don't eat it very often! It also seems to me that the sauces with which I cover my pasta kind of go to the bottom of a plate, or bowl, thus requiring a good mix occasionally to incorporate everything. I found the Carbe Diem pasta very filling and satisfying with the chewiness an actual bonus, as it requires more mindful eating. I like it very much and plan to try the other varieties for different dishes.

Let me explain what these noodles are.I have read the bad reviews here and most are not warranted. These are low calorie pasta with low NET carbs. Not low carbs, low NET carbs. This is not for people on a strict KETO diet. But if you count NET carbs only then you can have them. Still, the rule is 20 Net carbs a day (if you are strict) and these 2oz servings have 16. Not sure if that is worth it.That said... I am on low carb for years now. Low carb makes me stay NOT hungry and it keeps my glucose on a steady level. For somebody like me (low carb and low calories) this pasta is a gift. I have not had pasta in years and the Konjac noodles don't count. They will spike your BG but in my case not too much and you need to offset them with some protein. Remember EVERYBODY reacts differently. Your spike does not men other people spike. Always test yourself. The calorie count is almost half of normal pasta. That alone. And they fill you (at least me) up. They need to be cooked longer. That is the nature of the different ingredients. And for pasta lovers they will NOT win on a side by side taste test but for somebody like me, who had no pasta in years and can't even remember what pasta tastes like, its just fantastic. Also the price is decent (not compared to normal pasta) since there are 12oz in the box. Others have 8oz. One error I saw on the box. It says 18 servings of 2oz per container. The box only contains 6 (2oz) servings. I assume that is meant for the whole 3 boxes that come with the order but is confusing. But I can do MATH so it is fine.To summarize:Like normal pasta - NO but close.These have low NET carbs, not low carbsLow calorie, check your own blood Glucose reaction, then decide and enjoy some pasta that you otherwise can not have.

This is the second low carb pasta I've tried and now it'll be my last, I am genuinely blown away by how good it is. The last one had a very odd textural feel to it, that I find hard to put into words, but it wasn't a good thing. If someone made this one for me, I would never have known it was low carb. The taste & texture are spot on, if you like your pasta on the softer side, give it at least 20 min of cooking time. I just reheated the leftovers and it's even better the second day, I will definitely be putting this on subscribe.

This pasta is a miracle. It takes a little longer to cook but that’s a small price to pay for low calorie pasta. The texture is a bit like chickpea pasta, but if you boil it closer to 17 minutes, it is less noticeable. The extra fiber makes this pasta more filling than others, which is great because I want something that’ll keep me full while being low calorie. I will buy this as long as they sell it. I hope that I will see this in stores sooner or later.
