Pasta - 20 calories!!!!
Hi everyone,
So in an effort to stay on track, I did some research and shopped around and found this incredible product: Tofu noodles that are 20 calories for half the package. I made them yesterday... they taste and feel like real pasta! They are incredible - and I will be using them over regular pasta. They are super filling and you can garnish them any way you want.
Just wanted to share this tid bit with you! They are sold at my Longo's, but I am sure you can find them anywhere!

House Foods - Tofu Shiritaki, 8 oz - 40 calories for the entire package, 20 for half. I usually eat the entire package.. and it actually covers my entire plate. It is so, so filling. I was so surprised when I found out about I just have to tell the world.0

I will have to look for that Thanks for posting!0

How do you prepare them so that they actually taste like regular pasta?0

These noodles are the best! don't forget to rinse them prior to par boiling though, have a slight "fishy" smell to them. Do not overcook 1 min in the microwave I found is sufficient.0

sounds great!0

Pasta is one of the food that is hard for me to give up. Thanks for the post I will definately look for the tofu noddles now:)0

Yeah, there is a lot of buzz around these noodles. They are sometimes called the miracle noodles. Anyway, I can't remember her name, but someone posted a nice thread here about how to make these noodles even better. She talked about dry frying them and that was the secret to making them delicious. A quick search might bring up the post. I am trying the noodles this week. But not the tofu ones because I don't eat tofu. I am getting the original ones. They are zero calories I believe, or very few(less than the tofu noodles).0

WHATTTT???? I need these in my life! You think maybe Whole Foods would have them??? and most importantly, are they Gluten Free?0

Thank you, thank you for this post!!! I'll definitely be checking these "Miracle Noodles" out this week. I'm a pasta freak and have been having a hard time giving it up. I appreciate the info!!!0

the tofu noodles are good but be prepared they do not have the same texture as regular pasta. and like said rinse them very well.0
-
I've tried these before and they are good in texture and everything but the smell I couldn't deal with. If there is a trick to them I'd love to know.0

yes they are gluten free...i wasn't a huge fan of the texture of them and they do smell awful(i rinsed them thoroughly).0 -
Yes they are really good. I've tried them before too.0

Wow, Thanks for posting! I Love tofu and pasta. What a great way to combine them in a healthy manner!0
-
one serving is 1/2 cup of regular pasta and only 150 calories. Don't get people trying to substitute with gross stuff. Just eat a portion and enjoy.0
-
I've never tried Tofu anything and really don't want to. But pasta is something I really would like a substitute for. If it's smelly that's kind of scary. For the people that have eaten this pasta, were you already someone that ate tofu?0
