So you will find both good and bad reviews for all the various "Great Low Carb Bread Company" pastas. I think they mostly hinge on one thing. I've tried the ziti, the orzo, and the rotini. The texture isn't bad. It's a bit crumbly in texture but approximates regular pasta pretty well. We've used it by just putting sauce over the top and also in baked applications (Mac and Cheese and Baked Ziti). We've used the orzo in soup. So what's the issue? It does NOT absorb salt from the cooking water. If you are used to nicely seasoned pasta that you get straight from your salted cooking water, you will be disappointed. If you realize what's happening then you can add additional salt later in the process and you should be quite satisfied. Salt the heck out of the water and the pasta will get /some/ flavor, but not as much as you would think. Just keep this in mind and it makes a perfectly fine low carb option.

We've tried them all...I prefer zoodles but the kids just really want a "pasta" sometimes. So we tried this. By far the closest in taste & texture. I have found that cooking about DOUBLE the time listed in the directions is required to obtain an al dente texture - otherwise, cooked as directed it remains hard & almost crumbles when you bite it. I successfully put the product in my Instant Pot tonight. Covered with barley enough water to cover the pasta & cooked on high for 11 minutes (noting that the directions on the package say to boil for 10 minutes and the IP usually cuts the cooking in half!) I then turned the IP on saute and threw in butter, gouda & cheddar until I had a beautiful, creamy keto mac&cheese! This is wonderful for me because I used to make quite a few "dump-and-go" pasta dishes in the IP & I will once again be able to do them.

I needed to make a keto version of one of our family meals, mostaccioli. I wanted a low carb version for me. These noodles did the trick. When you get the bag it may not look like the noodles are going to be very good. But take the time to cook the noodles and you will be pleased. They are a little chewy and dense compares to traditional pasta. In my case I was making a baked pasta dish so this actually worked out pretty good. Keep in mind that it is low net carb due to the increased amount of fiber. So if you are not used to taking in fiber you may experience some discomfort. And this option is not the cheapest, but is pretty easy to work with and find. So if you are doing keto you will probably appreciate this pasta.

First and foremost, this is not real pasta. That being said, it’s the closest thing to it with barely any carbs that you’re going to find. When I first got the bag I was truly disappointed in the amount, it looked like there was hardly enough for 2 servings let alone 4. It takes about 30 minutes to really cook up but once it does, there is quite the difference in size and servings. I made a pasta bake with it (after about 30 minutes of boiling it) and ended up with closer to 6 full size servings, counting the meat added, than 4. It really is pretty good stuff, even if the cost is a bit daunting. If you are low carving it, this is a good occasional alternative to pasta. Highly recommended.

This worked great for me as a keto pasta alternative. Far more al dente in texture than the miracle type noodles which I just can't get into. These don't quite have the same flavor as pasta, but are about the best imitation I've come across so far, and definitely scratch the itch when loaded up with sauce and cheese. I just wish it wasn't so expensive! I have looked on their website and unfortunately the price is similar to what's available on Amazon. I hope other companies take note and come up with competitive brands! But in the meantime I'm happy to pay for it to have a pasta I can live with.

Out of all the pasta substitutes I've tried, Great Low Carb Bread Company is my family's favorite. It is, unfortunately, super pricey, so we don't eat it very often. But when we do it's fantastic. It holds up very well to heavy cream sauces and melted cheese. The taste is just okay on it's own but you don't really notice it when it's covered in Alfredo, marinara, or garlic butter. Regular pasta is roughly $1/LB so it was difficult to get used to paying around $11 for just 8 oz of this Low Carb Pasta. But it's worth it to keep my family healthy. I will only buy this brand from now on!

Been sound Keto for 2 years. Been working in an italian restaurant for 3. I have been trying so many different kinds of “noodles” so that I can still enjoy pasta at work. This is seriously the best I have found so far. A lot of reviews say the flavor is off. I don’t notice a flavor difference- the only difference I notice is that they break apart easier. I was shocked at how large they became after boiling. The bag appears small (which it is) but the serving size meaty doubles once the noodles are done (which takes about 35 minutes). Very happy!

The texture is harder than al dente and the taste by itself is not desirable. BUT, when added to sauce it’s totally a tolerable substitute. I used it to make Keto Mac and cheese and considering Mac and cheese is my weakness I was not disappointed. Is it exactly the same? No! It’s not pasta, doesn’t have the same amount of carbs and so you shouldn’t be expecting it to taste like pasta. That being understood it’s a great substitute if you want to satisfy your carby craving without the actual carbs.

I followed another reviewer's suggestion and cooked my pasta in my Instant Pot. I barely covered them in water and cooked on high for 11 minutes. After reading some of the other reviews I was actually very happy and surprised with the amount it made. I made a pasta bake and added 1lb ground beef, pasta sauce and cheese and it filled a 2 1/2 quart baking dish. These are a great alternative to the real thing and taste great! I will definitely buy again. I have also lost 70 lbs on the Keto diet.

Ok guys I was hesitant because of the price and some people comments were saying that they taste chalky. But, I am so happy I purchased these and they taste like real pasta. They don’t have a chalky taste. I guess it’s because I know how to cook 😂🤷🏽‍♀️ But if you’re trying to be low carb or keto this is it. Way better than shirataki noodles or hearts of palm noodles

If you’re on the keto diet and miss having pasta - then look no further. It has the consistency and flavor of “real” pasta, unlike many other brands I’ve tried. It’s pricey for what you get ($9 for 8oz), but that’s the norm for prepared keto foods. If you can look ‘pasta the price, you won’t regret your purchase.

This pasta is it guys. This is what all us low carb/keto people have been looking for!!! It’s so good and the portion size is spot on and filling. It’s obviously a little expensive for pasta but it’s so good, we make sure to have it at least twice a month. My kids don’t even know this isn’t “real” pasta. BUY IT!!

AMAZING!! have been looking for a low carb alternative for noodles for a couple months now and these are by far the closest thing to normal noodles. They are still a little hard after you cook them. But way better then heart or palm noodles, zoodles or those god awful see threw noodles. 🤪

Cassie

I love this pasta! It is the closest to traditional pasta in flavor and texture. I have tried many substitutes that may taste ok like zoodles but they are not really noodles. These are! The ingredients are very basic and nothing weird-that's a big deal folks. Pricey but sooo worth it.

Tripp

Very good texture & flavor for a low carb option. I’ve tried several brand & this is by far the best. Must com longer than directions say but don’t stir they are fragile as they get close to being done. I have bought purchased several times. Kinda expensive that’s only Con
