October 05, 2021Reviewer: A customer* I use Carba-Nada products as a benchmark for low carb pasta. Since they don't offer low carb spaghetti I turned to Ciao. I have had Ciao lasagna noodles, really appreciating being able to eat lasagna again when we were KETO driven. The lasagna noodles held up to the sauce and cooking time. I rated it 5 out of 5. I cooked this spaghetti almost double the time. The texture was not as chewy al dente as conventional noodles but acceptable. I will use more water and salt next time I cook it.

September 02, 2021Reviewer: Kelly in North Carolina* This review was for the spaghetti pasta. First let me say that LC pasta is obviously not real pasta, which contains starch, the thing we love most about pasta. But if following a low carb diet, this may satisfy your taste for substituting pasta, if you can get past the texture. It's full of fiber and filling. It even resembles spaghetti noodles. That's where the good ends. It was flavorless, which could be a good thing, except it was a bit gummy. Tried cooking again less time and even added extra few minutes. All resulted in the same result. It was edible, but we tossed the leftovers and won't repurchase.

July 11, 2021Reviewer: SHERRY in Tennessee* This lo carb spaghetti has the texture and taste of "real" spaghetti--we love it.
-
May 09, 2021Reviewer: Donna in Florida* the very best for low carb flavor
-
May 04, 2021Reviewer: Ann in North Carolina* Lots of fiber and tastes ok but not as good as real pasta. Very filling.
-
March 25, 2021Reviewer: sonia in Alabama* Tasted just like pasta!
-
February 01, 2021Reviewer: Karene in Florida* So far this is my preferred pasta. I bought double this time . Didn’t want to run out when I wanted pasta.
-
January 24, 2021Reviewer: A customer in Tennessee* Love it. It's the answer for my keto spaghetti fix. I use this with Rao's sauce and it's about as Keto as any concoction I can find and it takes completely normal.
-
January 01, 2021Reviewer: DAVID in Michigan* These are the best noodles for low carb. Totally recommend them. They do not have the grainy structure of other brands. Note for some who are in ketosis this may not be for you. However, for those who are in the maintenance stage they are good for one meal every couple of weeks.
-
December 02, 2020Reviewer: Linda in Michigan* We love this low carb, no guilt spaghetti pasta! Give it a try - you’ll be glad you did!!
-
October 30, 2020Reviewer: Paulette E. in California* Great product! I love to use it for baked spaghetti.
-
May 27, 2020Reviewer: Jacqueline in Idaho* This is the best low carb pasta I have gotten. It is different, but it looks like pasta and with sauce on it, it is very good. I have tried several other low carb pasta and this one far exceeds the others. It will be the only one I buy from now on.
-
March 26, 2020Reviewer: Tanya in New York* Delicious low carb spaghetti - this is the best tasting low carb spaghetti that I have ever tried. Shiritaki noodles are way too rubbery. I did have to boil it slightly longer than suggested but it was very tasty no off putting or strange textures or flavors
-
March 08, 2020Reviewer: Judy in New York* This pasta was delicious. It didn't taste like a low carb product and I really enjoyed it.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 07, 2020Reviewer: Howard in Massachusetts* About a dry ounce increased my blood sugar about 50 points so this is a no no. Taste was OK but the strands tended to clump together even in sauce.
-
January 20, 2020Reviewer: Ellen in Washington* Love this spaghetti. I was afraid when it was out of stock it was gone for good. But it’s back in stock. Low carb, high protein and tastes delicious!
-
August 27, 2019Reviewer: Lona in Wisconsin* Fantastic for diabetics. Minus the fiber ends up low carbs. Cook longer then suggested. On all the noodles.
-
August 26, 2019Reviewer: Angie in California* It has a little different taste - maybe a little nutty but very good. Thirteen net carbs per serving is so much better than 1/2 cup of regular cooked spaghetti with thirty to forty five carbs. I use 2 oz. dry for the two of us and get two meals with the added meat sauce. It is quite filling and my husband & I really like it.

August 16, 2019Reviewer: A guest* Excellent taste!! Perfect Keto option!!!
-
July 22, 2019Reviewer: CHERYL in North Carolina* The closest thing to "real" pasta I've tasted so far!
-
July 21, 2019Reviewer: A guest* The best tasting low carb pasta I have tried and I have tried many. It really tastes like regular pasta. Easy to cook and delicious.
-
July 05, 2019Reviewer: A customer in New Jersey* Loved this product. My husband is a picky eater and he was even skeptical when I told him this was a lower carb alternative.
-
April 18, 2019Reviewer: A guest* Excellent taste, easy to cook. Great low carb alternative.
-
April 04, 2019Reviewer: Cindy in Utah* One of the lowest net carb pastas out there. Totally satisfied my craving, but for maybe not for the picky or those with texture issues.
-
January 30, 2019Reviewer: Rhonda in Georgia* These are the best tasting low carb noodles ever. Granted it still has carbs, but not near as much. They are the best so far.
-
October 26, 2018Reviewer: Pamela in New York* I *love* this spaghetti and I tout it all the time on Instagram. It doesn't have any weird taste at all, it gets nice and al dente, and you truly wouldn't know it's low carb. I like the spaghetti product better than the rest of the Ciao line. Sometimes the others get a bit gummy but never the spaghetti. It's perfect.
-
October 14, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Pennsylvania* This tastes just like regular spaghetti! I have tried a lot of different low carb pasta alternatives over the past couple years, and this one was really amazing. I prepared it simply, with just some olive oil, garlic, and red pepper, so there wasn't really anything to cover up the flavor or texture. You do have to cook it just a little longer than you might for regular pasta. Will definitely be buying again!
-
October 13, 2018Reviewer: Alan in Utah* Although these noodles require a longer cook time than regular spaghetti, I have been very pleased. I like the taste and texture of these better than the boxed stuff at the super market and, hey!, they are low carb.
This was probably my third or fourth order for these since I first discovered them. I expect I will continue to order them in the future.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulOctober 10, 2018Reviewer: LeAnn in California* I finally found a low carb pasta that I like! Seriously, you can't tell the difference, and this didn't affect my blood glucose levels at all! I'm very happy and will continue to buy this!
-
September 19, 2018Reviewer: Praise in California* I tried the penne version of this pasta first, and fell in love. The spaghetti is just as good. I can't tell the difference between this and traditional pasta! My husband says he can taste a slight texture difference (though not bad), but I don't know what he's talking about. I'm so excited to have different varieties of pasta as part of my low carb diet. Will definitely purchase again!
-
September 01, 2018Reviewer: Nicole in Tennessee* Love this pasta it’s one of the better tasting low carb options I’ve tried.
-
July 25, 2018Reviewer: Angela in Mississippi* Absolutely love this product, I cook mine a little longer than I would regular spaghetti, but everyone's preference is different. Hoping they will add elbow to their line!!!
-
July 19, 2018Reviewer: Donna in Maryland* I LOVE this product. Finally a pre-made noodle that is edible and delicious. I am on the Keto diet and my carbs are extremely limited so these noodles are perfect at only 12 net carbs per serving.

June 08, 2018Reviewer: A guest* excellent
-
January 20, 2018Reviewer: christine in North Carolina* Recently purchased 3 boxes. I was very hesitant to try. But I am so glad I did. I did cook it for over 20 minutes with salt, drained and rinsed with water. I added my favorite sauce with meatballs and took that first bite. Oh my gosh! I had 3 servings. Extremely filling. I am on ww. My calculations put it at very low freestyle points. Plan to order 8 more boxes. I can now forever eat pasta again! Great, Great product!!
-
January 08, 2018Reviewer: David in California* I love this product! Great taste, texture, nutrition, and value. I don't time the cook, I sample until it's to my taste. That's how I always cook pasta. Perhaps those dissatisfied with the texture should consider relying more on the palate than the clock. For my money, it's great stuff. I serve it on a bed of chopped raw spinach that I blanch until limp in the microwave. I dice up some avocado and spread that out before placing the pasta and sauce on the spinach.
-
June 22, 2017Reviewer: A guest* For you people who suffer from diabetes,eat this. Gosh it's good. It fills you up. I can not put it in words but damn try it. I have bought several products from Netrition and they are ALL good.

March 12, 2017Reviewer: John in Minnesota* When I first saw this item, I jumped at it as I have not been able to find any really low carb spaghetti. I ordered 4 boxes of it, as I have used the nutriwell penne pasta as it is just like regular pasta. I cooked this the first time as you would normal spaghetti and made home made sauce for it. I took the first bite and was very disappointed. It was tough and had a very gritty mouth feel. I was ready to toss all 4 boxes, but luckily I didn't. Several months later when ordering more of the penne pasta I read the reviews on this spaghetti and some said it was horrible and had dumped all they had purchased. HOWEVER, one person said they tried it a second time and added double salt and cooked it for 20 minutes and it was great. I just tried that today and after 20 minutes the spaghetti is much lighter in color and not gritty at all. It was very close to regular spaghetti. HOORAY, I can have spaghetti and meatballs again without my blood sugar going through the roof.
-
May 19, 2016Reviewer: A customer in Minnesota* This pasta is by far is the best I have tried. The trick is you must cook it for at least 20 minutes and use a bit more salt in the cooking water.
-
January 04, 2016Reviewer: David in California* Great taste, and no guilt! I've tried many low carb pastas in the past, but this one is far superior. In general, I've found the low carbs need to be cooked a little longer than regular pasta. That said, I found it flavorful and with a very acceptable texture. I'm here now to order another 10 boxes. I can live with this...
-
September 01, 2015Reviewer: Linda in Washington* I ordered two boxes of the spaghetti and threw out 1 1/2 boxes. It chews like cardboard - very heavy texture which detracts from the sauce. Cooked it the full 10 minutes; maybe more cooking will help but I'm guessing not. The flavor is also "woody" or just slightly "off". I'm not a fan.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulAugust 12, 2015Reviewer: Daniel in South Dakota* As nobody has reviewed this yet, I was unsure what to expect. The spaghetti was pretty good, although it is on the chewy side. Taste though was just like regular spaghetti and a lot fewer carbs so I will order it again. One note on the nutrition data shown-that is the 50g "metric" serving rather than the standard US 2oz serving. That is on the box as well and contains 34g carbs with 17g fiber.
