    I purchased my "Vegetti" at Bed Bath and Beyond. The zuchinni was al dente. I sautéed fresh garlic slices and sun dried tomatoes, using a little of the oil and then added the zuchinni till it was heated through. Next time I will try chicken pad thai.

    Blech, those are scary looking. I'm not sure I'd be willing to put black pasta in my mouth.
    My thought as well, looking at that picture.

    Interesting and I now know what a "spiralizer" is . Never heard of it, but looks like something I should check out

    I love mung beans and mung bean sprouts. Definitely will be adding this to my list of things to try!

    We used to eat mung bean noodles regularly as kids, my mom used to make it a lot =)

    I know it as 'cellophane noodles' & in our household, it used to go in asian/indian style dishes.
    I've never tried it any other way though, so that's worth mentioning.

    I have eaten shirataki noodles in the past & preferred the tofu added version as the texture was too much for me.

    Most often we'd have them fried....yum! I'm gonna hunt around a lower carb version. Ever since we cut carbs, many of the mainstays of my childhood have fallen by the wayside =/

    Thanks for the reminder!....going to the Asian market today to read labels :drinker:

    Noodle bashing is against the rules.....reported.
    Yep, I like you.

    Just eat them damn noodles, and make it fit. None of these nasty substitutes! :noway:
    Or folks can do what they want. And you can do what you want. :smile:

    And I don't WANT to eat noodles very often. I am not crazy about how noodles taste (bland and blah) but love these! So there :)

    I love pasta and don't like veggies. I know that's bad but I'm doing better. I've tried the spaghetti squash and didn't like it much but after our nutritionist made us the zucchini noodles and suggested we get a spiralizer I really find them to be a great pasta alternative. Here is a link to a spiralizer comparison video I found on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4ge7ydWPos

    Believe me I'm a really picky eater and if I like it most anyone should....

    I admit, I'm having trouble getting past the way they look.

    They do sound interesting, though. If I can find anywhere to buy them near, I very well might try them.

    Also, I love noodles, too. No substitutes are ever the same. :( But when I eat noodles, I bloat like a balloon because I ruined my digestive system due to an ED. So, I don't eat them often. It helps to have substitutes, that way I can learn to enjoy the dishes I used to love so much all over again - without the painful bloating and... other digestive results. :drinker:

    Of course, I still eat noodles sometimes, anyway. But that's because I'm stubborn and love me some noodles. :laugh:

    We tried the black bean spaghetti ones the other evening. They were good, but they seemed to release a lot of the water they had absorbed into the sauce. Yes, I did drain them well and rinsed them as directed. Family was not too impressed. I have a pkg of the Mung bean noodles to try also.

    So I tried them. I'm not overly impressed. However I'm still completely full 4.5 hours later (I had one serving with a bit of cheese, although granted, I had some sausage and mashed cauliflower too).
