Dominos Bread Bowl Pasta

codykitty

Has anyone seen the advertisements for this? Is it just me or does it look like a bowl full of heart attack?

I saw that last night. My husband even commented on how many calories that must have in it. I'm curious.

I've seen the commercial a few times and I just don't even think they look appealing. Aside from the fact they probably have 1000 or more calories a piece and 50 grams of fat. LOL

LOL, I've wondered that myself. There is a Dominos right next to my gym and I see the sign advertising the bread bowl pasta nearly every day. The nutritional info for that item is not listed on their website. I agree with Codykitty - heart attack on a plate, or in this case, heart attack in its own edible bread bowl.

I didn't see the commercial so i GOOGLED it to see what you guys were talking about. Read this, it is surprising!!!!! :ohwell:



We've mentioned a time or two that, often, the foods that seem to give you the most bang for your buck also give your waistline an extra bulge. Not only are lots of junk foods cheap, but when people are stressed, they don't generally turn to fruits and veggies. Nope, they want warm, gooey desserts, soft bread and carbs, carbs, carbs.

Domino's knows this, and they're catering to that demand with a new dish -- Bread Bowl Pasta. Starting at just $5.99, you can choose Pasta Primavera, Chicken Carbonara, Chicken Alfredo, Italian Sausage Marinara or Three-Cheese Mac n' Cheese served in a big, edible bowl of bread. Or, of course, you can build your own and add up to three meat or veggie toppings (including bacon, salami and Philly steak). If you feel like lightening things up a bit, you can order the pasta without the bread (and knock a dollar off the price in the process).

I'm not going to lie -- when I first saw these, I thought they looked like a heart attack on a plate (wait, do you eat bread bowls on plates?). I was sure the calorie count had to be around 1,500 -- I mean, it's creamy, cheesy, meaty pasta, surrounded by a bunch of bread! But, I was totally wrong.

In fact, each Pasta Bread Bowl is considered two servings (whether you share it or eat it all in one sitting is your choice), and the calories for both servings range from 670-740, with 24-28 grams of fat per Pasta Bread Bowl (meaning your individual serving is 335-370 calories). That's no health food, for sure, but still, it's way better than what I would have guessed.

Maybe you're thinking, "Sure, but they're probably tiny." At least, that's what I thought. However, each bread bowl is stretched to about eight inches in width, so they're pretty substantial, and definitely sized to

hmmm, I don't know...I feel like it is like that Seinfeld episode where they get the "fat free frozen yogurt" tested b/c they all start gaining weight, and they find out it is full of fat! I can't believe a serving of pasta carbonara in a bread bowl, with philly steak is 370 calories....

I'm not saying I'm gonna eat it but just wanted to pass on the info I found :huh:

smithiekat

these ads were playing over and over last night on VS. during the hockey game and at first I said "Ew that's carbs on carbs on carbs" but by the end of the game (and the 20th airing of the commercial) I wanted one :blushing: sigh. . . the power of advertising. i still haven't had one though! :drinker:

ColtsFan1912

Bread/ Pasta/ Cheese/ Fat/ High Carb...back away from this mess.

arewethereyet

AND Sodium has not even been mentioned. I bet you would retain enough fluid to fill a tub with that mess. YUCK!!

GTOgirl1969

Yes...I can feel my arteries clogging as we speak. Holy cow that has to be a day's worth of fat and calories right there!

Tiddle

HOLY MOLY, now I love me some carbs, but thats a little (and by a little, I mean a lot) much...

MyaPapaya75

Has anyone seen the advertisements for this? Is it just me or does it look like a bowl full of heart attack?

Its a bowl of {everything youve done gone down the drain} so totally not worth it unless you split it with 4 people and omit the bread and have salad....

HealthierMamasita
