CARBE DIEMPenne, Lower Net Carb Pasta with Traditional Flavor & Texture, 55% Fewer Net Carbs & Only 110 Calories Per Serving, Pack of 3

I am an Italian-American trying to lose weight. I eat a varied diet even with calorie restrictions, but the one thing I struggled with was pasta. I could not make traditional pasta work for my calorie goals and also have it fill me up (two ounces is just not enough). I tried so many alternatives and they were terrible. And it sucked! I really missed pasta nights and was concerned that depriving myself of something I love so much was ultimately going to torpedo my weight loss efforts.Carbe Diem is great because it is actually made of wheat. The calorie count makes it doable to have a double serving (4 ounces) and have it fill me up and keep me on track. I love that I am getting lots of fiber and protein, both which can be a challenge on this few calories. It feels like a real treat but I am full and satisfied.The price can be a bit steep if you’re trying to feed a crowd but for me eating a double serving per week, it’s totally worth it. I highly recommend following package boiling times: this wheat takes longer than you think to reach al dente.

OK, I never come back on Amazon and reviews. I probably should because I buy enough off of here, but I was so torn about what noodles to buy switching over to a keto diet and finally building up the courage to try keto pasta (and not ruin a whole meal) after seven months, I feel like I should probably Let everybody else in on a little secret. This is hands-down, the best pasta you can ever eat on a keto diet, or ever. In fact, I don’t know if we will ever go back to regular noodles. As long as you follow and trust the cooking time, which sometimes ends up being a little bit longer than you think it should be for al dente type pasta (yes, that’s important) you are going to be so glad you bought these. Yes, they are a bit more expensive than traditional 0.99 pasta, but everything I had hoped for in these exceeded what I ever expected wanted in a traditional noodle. have found even better benefits and taste in these. Like I said, I never leave reviews on Amazon, but for those of you that are trying to find a good noodle and struggling with a pasta craving on a keto diet, this is the one to go for. Quit searching. If my husband said these taste nothing different than a regular noodle then I feel like that is a big selling point coming from somebody that grew up on pasta, tortillas, rice, etc..

Carb Diem, I sincerely hope you never discontinue this product! After an extensive search for the perfect pasta substitute, I can confidently say that these are the best I've found. I followed the cooking instructions on the box, which recommended a cooking time of 15 minutes, and it was absolutely perfect. The texture was just right—not rubbery or overly chewy at all, which is often a concern with alternative pastas.What really impressed me was how neutral the smell was during cooking; there were no unpleasant odors that sometimes accompany gluten-free or alternative pasta options. The taste was remarkably authentic, much like traditional pasta, which made it a hit with everyone in my household. We all agreed that it could easily be mistaken for the real deal! I'm officially hooked on Carb Diem, and I'm thrilled to have found a product that meets my dietary needs while still delivering on taste and texture. Thank you for creating such a fantastic option!

This being an all wheat pasta with durum semolina, it cooks up like and tastes like what I expect from spaghetti. Now, they claim this contains "resistant starch" owing to their proprietary milling process. Each component of the wheat grain is milled separately and then recombined, if I have it right. I have no way to evaluate if this product is digested any slower than regular spaghetti. I did not experience a glucose surge after eating. I a borderline diabetic and sometimes react to high carbo meals. I like the product and alternate this spaghetti with another brand of whole wheat. I will buy it again. I can verify their nutritional claims but like what I read about this product.

My boyfriend and I are watching our carbs, he’s diabetic and I am trying to lose a little weight. I purchased the variety pack and have cooked the penne so far. I used 1/2 box to cook for two people, and I drained the water after boiling for a few minutes, ( I didn’t time it, I usually just check for doneness with a fork and pinching the pasta in half ) then added olive oil, 1 can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, fresh sautéed garlic and chopped zucchini, salt/pepper to taste and a little stevia to cut the acidity, we ate it as a side with grilled chicken breast. The pasta absorbed the juice from the fire roasted tomatoes which gave it more flavor. I’m definitely going to continue buying this!

I don’t understand about the calories and carbs, how it’s possible to have low numbers for both and yet it tastes the same as our regular spaghetti, but I can say I do not gain weight after eating this when I do gain weight on both regular and lentil spaghetti. The real trick, though, is my husband’s blood sugar numbers which do not rise the way both regular and lentil spaghetti raises them. He is ecstatic and so am I, because despite the 17 minutes it takes to cook this stuff, spaghetti and meatballs is still a super easy dinner for me to get on the table. Most excellent product.

So pasta is my favorite food on the planet. Spaghetti, taco pasta, Alfredo, Mac and cheese... You name it, I love it. So as you can imagine, all this pasta loving came with some extra pounds around the waistline.I was looking for a lower calorie alternative (instead of just eating less of the normal stuff, because what's the fun in that?), and I tried a few other kinds that just didn't hit the same as traditional pasta. Til I tried this pasta. The rotini and penne are amazing, I can't tell the difference between this and traditional pasta when mixed with sauce. I'm on my 3rd or 4th order, it's that good.I will say I wasn't a huge fan of the spaghetti though. But I think the noodles were just a little too thin for my liking. They weren't horrible, I just prefer the rotini or penne instead.
