Does anybody have any recommendations for lower calorie pastas?
For now, I'm not interested in zoodles, spaghetti squash, and other vegggie pasta substitutes. I make those often and like them, but the husband and kids don't like it as much and was looking for something that would not require me making something different for me/them.
Just wanted to see what lower calorie pastas you all have tried and liked.
Thanks in advance!

    Thank you. Do they carry it at regular stores or is it at specifically shops?

    I live in a small rural town. I can't find it locally so I buy it online. Amazon carries it but it's cheaper to buy direct. It is quite a bit more expensive than regular pasta though.

    Creamette makes a 150 calorie pasta with 13 grams of Fiber. I find it tastes no different than their regular.

    If you're looking to get a little more "bang" for your calorie "buck," I really like red lentil pastas. Similar calories to regular, but a bit of protein and more fiber.
