I love spaghetti! Unfortunately, I can not have any pasta on my diet. It's all about the carbs. I found a zero carb spaghetti noodle to try. Shirataki spaghetti noodles. Zero carb.
Shirataki noodles, based on research, have a nasty odor when opened and need to be rinsed before use. I've also researched a dozen different ways to prepare them. The brand I got was Pasta Zero from Walmart. First of all, there was no odor I read about. To prepare them, I rinsed them and then poured hot water over them just before serving.
I placed them on my plate and put my favorite spaghetti sauce on it. The texture was not like al dente but firm. I could still twirl it on my fork. Although it wasn't just like the real thing, it was acceptable for diabetics in my book. I'll definitely use it again.
