Carbe Diem!, Elbows, Lower Net Carb Pasta with Traditional Flavor & Texture, 8 grams of Protein, 55% Fewer Net Carbs & Only 110 Calories Per Serving, Pack of 3

I was skeptical about buying this pasta because all of the low carb pasta I tried before just didn’t workout. This pasta is actually low net-carb pasta which is what made me wanted to try it for the fiber content. Most other pasta tasted like cardboard and was too expensive. So I saw this pasta and it had few ingredients. So I did my research on semolina wheat and durum wheat which is practically the same thing. Semolina has more dietary fiber than white flour. Higher fiber content can aid in digestion, promote a feeling of fullness, and help regulate blood sugar levels. So I decided I will buy a box. I made a pasta salad. I was FLOORED! I was like “WHAT! WHAT!” this can’t be real! THIS TASTES LIKE THE REAL THING! So, I decide to try it out on my husband who doesn’t like anything, and is very, very, very picky. Soo, I made his favorite macaroni cheese using this pasta. I did not tell him anything, because I knew he would not even try it. Well, he ate it and went back for more. He looked at me and he said, “I see you finally decided to stop using “fate” pasta. This is delicious.” I gave him a hug and said “I will be making your favorite pasta dishes for now on using real pasta. I am throwing away all of the fate pasta.” I always let my pasta cook about 17-18 minutes just because I like that consistency. You really don’t have to, and you don’t have to when using this pasta in the oven. I do 15 minutes on the stove when making baked pasta dishes. It always comes out good. I dont know if it’s all in my mind, but I am losing weight eating this pasta, my blood sugar levels do not rise. The scales proves it. I have made all my pasta dishes with this pasta. I have purchased from Card Diem site when they have a sell, and I have purchased from Amazon. I am trying the Orzo pasta next. I purchased that from Carb Diem. I didn’t find it on Amazon. This is a winner people. Buy one box and try it. Oh, btw. I found it at my local Publix doing their BOGO sale! I nearly fainted! There wasn’t much left. So I bought four boxes of my favorite Rotini Pasta. Thanks Card Diem! Please don’t change a thing. KEEP IT REAL!!❤️🥰😘😘😘😘😘

This is my favorite low-carb, lower-cal pasta, so far. I have tried everything - from shiritaki noodles, to spaghetti squash, to chickpea pasta and hearts of palm - you name it. I have been on and off of a low-carb diet since 2017 due to gestational diabetes and the risk for type 2 diabetes from having the gestational type four times. What causes me to go off my diet or have a "cheat day" is my craving for pasta. No kidding; I could live without all the other carb-rich foods, like bread and potatoes, but pasta is my weakness. This pasta keeps me on track. Plus, my husband has type 2, and it helps me keep his sugars down, as well. It is a little pricey, but I have it on subscribe and save to cut the cost a little. It is definitely worth it, though, because if I wrecked my diet with the regular pasta, I would regret it so much that I'd be willing to pay the money to take it back. lol It has a very similar texture and flavor to regular pasta. It's a little thicker than regular pasta, but it doesn't fall apart like some alternatives and fills your stomach like regular pasta with almost half the calories and way fewer carbs. There's also enough of it to feed my whole family because you get three packs of 12oz, so I can get my kids used to this so that they never miss regular pasta because this is what they know. It works in recipes that call for the regular stuff, and with a decent sauce, you probably won't miss carb-rich pasta. I won't even take a star off for the minor differences, because the health benefits outweigh the minute difference in texture. If you're doing keto or a diabetic diet, I highly recommend it to keep you on track.

Great taste and only slightly different than regular pasta in that it is stiffer. Takes a few more minutes to cook. I make a whole bowl of tuna pasta with the elbows and love it because it doesn’t get mushy after a few days. A perfect addition to soups and minestrones, especially if you’re diabetic and love pasta and can’t have too much. The best however, for similarity to regular pasta, is the fettuccini. Great product. Waiting for Whole Foods to carry it.

wow ! cannot believe this pasta - taste is 99% the same (for me , an d i prefer all pasta softer, it juts took a few minutes longer than usual to boil), and i cannot taste the difference at all. It is def pricy BUT for almost half of calories compare to the regular pasta, i can get over it. Plus they have bundle deals ion their official website.

Great tasting product and it doesn’t fall apart
