Good: 1) This product is the closest to real pasta of any of the pasta substitutes I have tried. It is so nice to have pasta without the carb loading, helping to lower insulin rates and packing on the extra sugar as fat. 2) This product contains more fiber than any other pasta substitue , making you feel much more full than regular pasta and since it slows down digestion, it keeps you feeling full for a much longer time. Bad: 1) 20 times more expensive than regula pasta. A dry, precooked pound of normal pasta produces a lot more food a dried, 1 precooked pound of this pasta (since this pasta absorbs much less water). So not only are you paying 10 times more per pound for this pasta (literally, $0.90 an ounce for this pasta versus less than $0.09 an ounce for regular pasta), but this past produces less half what regular pasta would per pound. That makes this 20 times more expensive than regular pasta. Summary: If you bring down the price of this pasta, it would become a regular staple for me. Until then, I doubt I will be buying often, if ever.

As far as taste goes its really good. I was struggling to find an alternative to Creamette 150 since I cannot find that anywhere anymore. It tastes just like regular pasta & I cannot tell the difference (my bf said he only tasted a difference when he ate a plain noodle). The texture is also the same. They don’t really use any protective packaging so I am glad it was all intact since its just in bags loose in a big box. My only gripe is how expensive it is. Its only 8 oz bags for if you do the math, almost $4 a box. The creamette at the store was at most $2 for 10 oz’s. & needing to buy 6 at a time is also expensive. At least it will get eaten & it does not taste bad.

It's great if you are watching your carb intake, just don't expect them to be like regular noodles. Even after cooking for an extended time, they never get as soft as regular noodles.

My family has been eating FiberGourmet pasta for years. We typically buy the rotini, but it has been out of stock for quite some time due to issues with the manufacturer, so we were forced to switch to penne. This cooks slightly differently than the rotini but is an adequate substitute for our favorite pasta. The flavor is bar-none the greatest of the lower calorie/high fiber pastas - no one can tell the difference between this brand and typical grocery store higher-calorie store brands. I love that it comes in half-pound packages, as this works well for our family of three, and we don't have open packages of half-eaten pasta sitting around the house getting stale. If you are afraid to try high fiber pasta, don't shy away from this brand. It's by far the best!

I love pasta but can never enjoy it while dieting. I didn’t have very high expectations as most diet food is not always the best tasting. This brand however just tasted like normal pasta boxed pasta. Perfect addition to my pantry. However, they do need to update the nutritional information. I purchased the penne because it had the highest amount of fiber based on the product pictures. This product actually has 18 grams of fiber not 20. Not a deal breaker but the pictures are not accurate.

These are great but I’m a little skeptical of the nutrition facts. They taste exactly the same as regular pasta. Love the resealable packaging. Definitely overpriced

A very good, reduced calorie, tasty pasta. I have to admit it is a bit chewy and 'heavy.' It cooks relatively slowly, which allows for a wide range of 'doneness.' It is very filling. I have experimented with a few lower calorie pastas and this is one of the better ones, although there are still lower calorie pastas (e.g., Impastable Fettuccine by ThinSlim Foods) that are useful, however this one is more filling, satisfying, and good tasting.

They were pretty close to the real thing... with half the calories...

I make healthy pasta dishes that can be frozen using this pasta, grass fed ground beef, basil pasta sauce and frozen chopped spinach. This pasta cooks faster and winds up a bit more mushy than regular pasta, but that's a small trade-off for more fiber. The flavor is fine and I get to eat a healthy version of one of my favorite foods.

If you want to be filled up and stuffed to the brim than these noodles will do that with all that fiber. I highly recommend these for those who are dieting and trying to enjoy carbs in moderation. Split up the box into two portions otherwise you'll get fiber overload and be farting all day.
