The Best Low Carb Noodles & Pasta

Typically on a Low Carb Diet, you expect that Noodles & Pasta are off limits....Until now!

Whilst we know that these aren't like for like to real pasta, I do think these are great substitutes for low carbers pasta/ noodle fix. I especially love the black bean pasta range.

The Lowest Carb Noodle or Pasta is...

Slendier Noodles

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Konjac Flour (5%)

Carbs per 100g: less than 1g

Comments:

• They are all made from Konjac which is an Asian plant. It's really high in fibre but contains virtually zero Kj's or Carbs.
• With all Slendier Konjac products - all you need to do is open the packet and rinse under warm water THOROUGHLY and pat dry with a paper towel, then add your favourite toppings. :)
• Slendier Noodles are all available in the Gluten-Free/Health Food Section of the supermarket.

Changs Super Lo-Cal Wok-ready noodles

Ingredients:

Konjac Root extract, Water & Stabiliser (526)

Carbs per 100g: less than 1g

Comments:

• A very similar product to Slendier
• These Changs Super Lo-Cal Noodles are in the Asian section of the supermarket.
• The same tip as above for Slendier - rinse well and pat dry before adding toppings.

Bean Sprouts

Ingredients: Bean Sprouts

Carbs per 100g: less than 1g Carbs and only 80kj's

Comments:

• Ok, it's not a noodle or pasta BUT...It works!! This is probably one of the easiest options for a noodle replacement.
• Simply buy a bag of these from the fridge at the supermarket or fruit & veg shop - plate up and top with your favourite stir fry or pasta sauce.
• The hot topping slightly wilts the bean sprouts turning them into noodles.

Zoodles - Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients:

Zucchini

Carbs per 100g: 2g

Comments:

• 100% Natural
• There are heaps of special gadgets you can get to make Zucchini Pasta/Noodles now - but this is the simplest! You can purchase Julienne Peelers at most supermarkets/department stores. Simply run the peeler down the side of the Zucchini and it will form thin spaghetti-like strips. You can blanch the Zucchini as per instructions in our Non-Recipe Book - or lightly stir fry with some olive oil.
• Once you pop your favourite stir fry or pasta sauce on it you can hardly taste the difference.
• Woolworths and Coles also offer a ready-made version of these, found in the Fresh Food area in the store.

Slendier Range of Bean Pasta

Ingredients:

• Soybean & Water
• Blackbean Flour & water
• Edamame Bean Flour & Water

Carbs per 100g: 3-4

Comments:

• Just water and the legume flour, great simple ingredients and a great source of fibre!
• If you are avoiding soy, then you may skip those and go for the black bean.
• A great pasta alternative that has a better texture than the konjac noodles.
• These were found in Coles.

Spaghetti Squash

• 

• 

Ingredients:

Spaghetti Squash Vegetable

Carbs per 100g: 7g

Comments:

• I know it's over the 5g but I thought I'd still give it a mention as it's just a vegetable and all-natural! Not sure how easy it is to get in Australia, but we see this in a lot of low carb recipes from the US.

Baking Instructions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brush the inside of each half with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place cut sides down on a baking sheet and put the sheet into the oven. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the squash with a fork. Remove from oven and scoop the flesh out with a fork. It will be all stringy like Spaghetti! Top with your favourite pasta sauce.
