Someone on some discussion string on some recent date brought to our attention edamame pasta and mentioned that it can be found at Costco. Imagine my surprise when the Costco in Mobile, Alabama had it on the shelf. (My apologies to Sweet Home Alabama.) I took a chance and bought two boxes, which according to the package represents 32 servings total. Good thing we liked it or I'd have had another 30 servings to choke down all by myself.

It tastes just the way I want pasta to taste, i.e. like nothing but whatever is on top of it. The texture is different, not as smooth and slippery as I prefer but my husband and I agreed that it's acceptable. The package wants you to "bring to a boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes." Four minutes is tops to my mind. It cooks very fast.

The stats are 24g protein, 21g carbs, 11g fiber, 6g sugars per two ounce serving. I'm assuming the two ounces means dry. Two ounces dry, cooked, was plenty yesterday for the two of us when topped with a hearty meatball-tomato-cream cheese sauce.

So thanks, nice person, whoever you are.
