I gave an overall 4 for the variety pack, but to be more specific, I need to break down each of the products and what I used them for. I used the Elbows and Penne to make Mac and Cheese and the results were outstanding (5 out of 5). Next I used the Fettuccini and the results were good but I I did feel like the noodles were a bit chalky and stiff, despite having cooked them for about 15 minutes (3 out of 5). I used the Penne in a crock pot to make a version of chicken noodle soup and the noodles were able to hold up to a long slow cook (5 out of 5). In general these are great and really do deliver on the low carb option for pasta. I recommend cooking them a bit longer then suggested even if you like al dente.

I really wanted to like this. I've been doing Keto for awhile and have really missed pasta. So, when I saw the good reviews I decided to try this "pasta" only to find out I wasted my money. I was so excited after reading the reviews I shared a bag with my niece who does Keto and one with a friend whose husband is diabetic. The first bag I tried I thought it was my fault because I cooked it in a wrong pot. I dressed it with garlic and olive oil, my favorite way to eat pasta. The second bag was in the right pot and used it to make turkey Alfredo. (See picture.) I cooked on salt and olive oil. After drsining, I added butter, Alfredo sauce, turkey, Mozzarella, and Parmesan. My reaction once I took my first bite was again: Yuk! Basically heard the same thing from my niece and friend after they cooked theirs. I expected some texture difference but not such a drastic difference. The flavor was also terrible. It was like eating, I imagine, chalk but chalk would probably taste better. I will not be wasting my money on this again.

Ok so they aren't the best tasting thing compared to regular noodles but they are low carb. Not too bad actually. I've only tried the fettuccini so far... Made chicken alfredo and added salt to the water and to the noodles after. It turned out pretty good. Also added a few extra minutes to the cooking time. I'm excited to try the other ones.😁

A little of this pasta goes a long way!! I boiled it for a little over twice the recommended time and thoroughly drained it. I added some butter and salt to it as it boiled to avoided sticking together. I then sauteed some onions, precooked ground turkey breast, minced garlic, smoked sausage, spinach, and peppers in olive oil. Next, I added the cooked pasta, some alfredo sauce, and a little heavy cream. I only used about a third of one pack of pasta. I won't eat it more than twice a week since it does have quite a bit of carbs, but it is a great product that satisfies the cravings for carbs we love. Flavor it well and little oil to it when boiling and there's nothing to dislike about this.

This pasta is definitely worth it if you are keto or low carb. Obviously it’s not going to be just like regular pasta, but it’s a pretty close substitute. I have had to cook it longer than 10 minutes and it is a bit pricy. But again, this is obvious for any special diet type food. I will say I don’t think it would be as good without strong/heavy sauce and other mix-ins. But for a pasta craving, I’ll definitely get again.

OMG!!! I love this keto pasta substitute. I think this product is the closest thing you can get to real pasta! I hate the consistency and mouthfeel of shirataki or konjac noodles, but this is definitely not the case with the great low carb company's pasta. I would definitely recommend cooking longer than the cooking times. For me, in California, I cooked the pasta for about 15-20 minutes just to make the pasta softer, but that's definitely up to user preference. One thing to note is that the pasta is about 7g of carbs per serving, but I do think that one serving was definitely filling. If you do plan to eat pasta, just carve out some extra carbs to enjoy a pasta meal once in a while!

I enjoy these pastas, and it's the first time I bought the set. I am upset the way it's packaged, and shipped. All the individual bags are crammed in one larger bag. So all my fettuccini noodles were broken. The other ones were broken, but it's not as bad since they're small noodles. If they weren't all jammed together, I feel like it would of shipped better. Just disappointed my longer noodles are now bits.

For those on keto who are focused mainly on net carbs and less on ingredients, this is an awesome sub for pasta. One of the non-keto things I've missed the most is good 'ole Kraft mac & cheese, the original in the blue box... I can make one serving of these elbows (2 oz), add a tablespoon of salted butter and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and a tablespoon or two of Anthony's cheddar cheese powder (which is amaaazing), and voila! a substitute really close to the original while keeping carbs really low. For those unfamiliar with keto-friendly pasta, the texture of these types of products is a bit grainier/mealier than traditional pasta - but for context, I think the Great Low Carb Bread Co. pastas are a lot closer to regular pasta than Impastable products, which I tried and found tasted like cardboard. Highly recommend this product, the best pasta sub you'll find!

I've only tried the elbows so far and they are spot on. Taste. Texture. Didn't fall apart. Zero difference between this and normal boxed pasta. I didn't time how long it took to boil, I just cooked them, stirring them occasionally, until they looked done and then sampled a few to make sure. Maybe 15 minutes? I made a huge portion of macaroni tuna salad with half the bag that could easily feed 3-4 people. No doubt they're just as incredible with sauce or butter etc. I wish they were more affordable, but I'm going to get my monies worth from them one hundred percent, so I only took one star off for value. I'll work them into my budget when it's time to order more. Very satisfied, very happy. I wish all low-carb options were this close to the original, then maybe the extortionist prices on MOST low-carb/keto products would be just slightly easier to swallow.

Great subsititution for real pasta. I personally like it cooked a little longer than recommended and after a few different tries, I learned it taste much better if it is baked into a dish after cooking (I.e. homemade baked mac and cheese). A little pricey, but very filling per serving so it probably evens out.

This's really the best low carb pasta I've ever tried. I'm gonna be really disappointed if it's not actually low carb but I don't go into a carb coma after a meal. So, that's a huge indicator. I love it. I boil it part way like regular pasta and cook it the rest of the way in whatever I'm making. Just like any pasta I would make. I take a bit of the gravy and cook it into the pasta and drizzle EVOO. I cannot tell the difference after prepared like regular pasta. Another thing is the high fiber content which's a huge draw especially on a keto or Atkins plan. Can't wait to try other recipes but so far I've done rigatoni style and beef, scallopine, and primavera. I'm gonna try macaroni and beef next. I liked the pasta so much that I sent a combo to my family.

We love these in soup! I make a lot of home made soup and also we love al dente pasta. So often after leftover soup is frozen or refrigerated the pasta/noodles will absorb all the liquid and get super soft. Consequently, additional liquid is needed to bring the soup back to life and the original integrity of the flavor can be lost adding water or broth. Not with these! I have used the linguini and the rotini so far and the next day and after reheating, the pasta is still al dente !! I would highly recommend adding to anything you are worried about the noodles getting too soft.

Liked the rotini enough that I ordered this multipack. Not as good as real durum wheat pasta but a good enough imitation when eaten with tomato or cheese-based sauce, especially if you add some protein like chicken or even meatballs. Definitely needs some additional cooking time beyond the recommended 10 mins. For my family we like to cook them as follows to get it less firm without over cooking: Rotini: 15-16 mins Penne: 18-19 mins Fettuccini: 14-15 mins Elbows: 12-14 mins

I love pasta, the real thing. I've tried shirataki noodles (the worst!), whole-wheat, corn, quinoa, mung bean, zoodles, all the pasta substitutes, and none of them are, well, pasta. THIS, MY FRIENDS, IS PASTA. I follow a keto diet and eat about 20-25 net carbs per day. This pasta has NEVER knocked me out of ketosis, tastes like PASTA, and fits well into my super-low carb intake. I was also skeptical, spending $30 for low-carb pasta, expecting disappointment, and I can honestly say this pasta can change someone's life. Being on a low-carb journey is no easy feat, but this pasta will satisfy that craving and make you feel like you're cheating, all while the scale keeps going down. Pair with a hearty sauce (I make homemade alfredo and cheese sauces with a heavy cream base) or a nice meat sauce, and be blown away.

Taste-wise this tastes pretty much like regular pasta. Texture is close but not exact. Best of the low carb pastas I've tried. Too bad it's just so ridiculously expensive. I bought it mainly so I could still join in our family Christmas Eve dinner, but for this price it's not something to make a regular thing. If the price comes down I'd give it 5 stars. (Plan to cook it longer than regular pasta.)
