Fiber Gourmet Low Carb Pasta

By: Tanya Patrice | Oct 16, 2007

Fiber Gourmet PastaFiber Gourmet is the answer to a lot of dieters prayers - low carb pasta! There are five choices of fettuccine: Classic, Tomato, Spinach, Garlic Parsley and even Chocolate. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the chocolate variety, but I did try the first three. The pastas come in circular rosettes which each weigh a little less than 1 ounce. This is quite helpful when it comes to pertion control because each serving is 2 ounces, which is just a little over 2 rosettes (but we'll just toss in 2 and save a few calories).

The pasta is actually quite delicious (or is it just that I am an excellent cook!) and I don't think anybody would be able to tell that this is a low carb option. The only very slight issue is that if it weren't for the different colors, I didn't detect much difference between the three varieties - they all tasted the same to me.

One 2 ounce serving of Fiber Gourmet Light Carb Pasta has 130 calories, 1 gram of fat, 7 grams of protein and 43 grams of total carbohydrates, which includes 18 grams of dietary fiber and 2 grams of sugar. That's 40% fewer calories than standard pasta (and only 2 Weight Watchers points).

I highly recommend this if you are looking for low carb options in your diet - or even if you just want to save on some calories. Shop the Fiber Gourmet Store to get 12 bags for $39 (each bag has about 5 servings) - and there is a list of stores where you can find Fiber G here.

Thanks for the review! One little quibble: our pasta doesn't actually have "Carb" in its name. We're really focused on the calorie reduction, not the carbs.

Also, we have tweaked the recipe on the flavored pasta's since we sent them to you a few months ago - I think you should find them a bit more flavorful now.

Thanks again
Ari
