sarahazelnut99

What is the most nutritious brand of noodles? I dont have a lot of money and have been living off of noodles for the past month... right now i eat what i have which is generic regular pasta. I'm not sure what im looking for. I saw some noodles at tops that said "samonela (NO Idea what the actual spelling was)

help! brands or key words please

I LOVE Buckwheat Soba noodles. Just make sure they have buckwheat in the first few ingredients. High protein, not bad on calories, and delish.

Not really nutritious, but I just tried shirataki noodles for the first time in a stir fry. They're almost calorie and carb free and are great for low-carb and south beach diet (which I'm on just recently). From what I've heard and read, preparation is key, and a lot of people prefer to use it in Asian dishes, although some people have tried it in Italian dishes and enjoyed it. My chicken peanut stir fry was delicious and I was really impressed!

I love the low carb Dreamfields brand. Can't miss it. They are in the black box.

Yes the buckwheat soba noodles are excellent.

I also have tried rice noodles- they are pretty good!

I use plain noodles, frozen broccoli, and a kikkoman stir-fry sauce that only has 20 calories per serving and make some delicious pasta The whole meal costs less than $5.00 and you can make about 8 servings from all the stuff. One serving only has 400 calories!

I use brown rice pasta; it's not too expensive and the texture is really similar to plain noodles.

You can find you basic whole wheat pastas from Barilla and ronzoni for less than 2 dollars a box. And more often than not the have them 10 for 10 or buy one get one free at alot of grocery stores.They aren't perfect in nutrition but they are a few steps up from your basic white pasta.

The right ingredients and you can have a cheap and healthy meal.

Olive oil
Fresh veggies such as squash can often be found for about a buck a piece but usually less in most places
onion
Garlic
mushrooms
fresh or frozen spinach, broccoli, carrots, peas etc
tomato
parsley or basil
frozen stir fry vegetables go a ways and can be used with the noodles and soy sauce for a quick chinese inspired dish.
low sodium soy sauce or sesame sauce.
packaged sauce mixes like thoes by knorr (alfredo, pesto creamy garlic) The sodium is a bit high but by using low fat or fat free milk you can cut out a lot of calories.

And if all else fails hunts has canned pasta sauces that are about 1.50 for a good sized can.

Good luck!

It's semolina - you do NOT want to be eating salmonella

Not noodles, but you can buy bulk quinoa for pretty cheap and dress it up the same way you would pasta! It has lots of protein/fiber. It might be a nice way to change it up

Noodles are my kryptonite... I personally buy the brand/type that I will not polish off a whole pot of. I've been substituting spaghetti squash but it's not as satisfying...

i love veggie pasta such as Ronzoni Garden Delight. not only am i eating my pasta favorites but im getting veggies too with almost a whole serving of veggies per serving of pasta! not a bad deal! and they are relatively cheap...not as cheap as generics but for the price i know im eating healthier!

Can you tell me what brand you use? The only brown rice pasta I really liked was a brown rice/quinoa brand. The other ones I've tried have had a pretty mushy texture that I couldn't get past.

I'm addicted to Pasta Slim. they have plain nooodles and a spinach variation. Love it in stir fry
