Miracle Noodle Fettuccine Pasta, 7 Oz (Pack of 6), Plant Based Shirataki Konjac Noodles, 5 Calories, 1g Net Carbs Per Serving, Keto, Gluten-Free

I used to love Italian food but I have to say I haven't had it in years. It never went well with my stomach and then I was diagnosed gluten intolerant. I always missed pasta and how easy it is to make and how filling it is but I definitely never missed the carbs or upset belly. I heard about this online and saw it for the first time at Whole Foods when I visited my mom though the brand was different. I loved how it was filling and easy, though it definitely doesn't taste anything like regular pasta. Since I don't have a Whole Foods around, I ordered these off line and they taste exactly the same as the other brand though are more translucent in color. Since I'm not used to normal pasta, I can't complain, though I will say my friends think its bland and gross in texture. The texture is weird..really rubbery but most Asian noodles are anyway. The taste is bland but not bad, the good thing with these noodles though is that they soak up whatever sauce you put on them extremely well. I make avocado garlic hummus and I mix that in with the noodles along with Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce. I bring it to school/work with me and I only taste the sauce, not the noodles so it tastes pretty good. However, if I eat it right away it doesn't taste as good. I heard cooking it on a skillet with sauce will allow the flavor to penetrate more into the noodles so they taste more like pasta though. If you bring these to work and won't eat them for a few hours, be aware not to use a lot of spices/garlic sauce or it will be an overkill. Also, when you first open the noodle package, it does smell like fish, I think its a natural preservative type thing. I put the noodles in a drainer and run water over them for 5 minutes and the smell goes away.

These are wonderful… We use them in many of our meals plus the calorie count is so low

I have been buying these miracle noodles for years and loved them (see my original review below) -- until they started tasting like bleach. I assume that so many people complained about the natural fishy smell of the water they come in, the company must have started chlorinating them. The problem is that whilst the original natural fishy smell was EASY to get rid of, just by washing them in a sieve and dry frying for a minute or two or microwaving in water, there is NOTHING that works to get rid of the chlorine TASTE, and NOTHING covers it up. I have tried EVERYTHING -- high heat baking, acid, endless washing, intensely flavoured sauces. I got a huge batch of them because I have always loved them, and now it is too late to return them and I just have to throw them out and lose the money. Note that I did buy this large batch quite some months ago, so it is possible that the company has corrected this horrible mistake by now. If you have bought some recently and they do not taste of bleach, please mention that in your own review. The moment I hear the chlorine taste gone I will buy more. Here is my original review, and then an "UPDATE" again from the past: Of course don't buy these if you are looking for an authentic pasta experience. They are not the same as real fettucini, by any stretch of the imagination. But if you want a gluten-free, ultra-low-calorie, ultra-low-carb alternative to real fettucini, that will allow you to enjoy more of the delicious sauce you want to serve them in, these are indeed that miracle, as promised. To remove the strong fishy smell, tip the uncooked noodles into a sieve and rinse thoroughly under running water, then put in microwaveable bowl with lots of fresh water and heat for a few minutes until the underside of the bowl feels hot, then strain. No more fishy smell. UPDATE: Is it my imagination, or have these actually improved, objectively? It might be that I am just used to them now, but somehow the new batch I have just received is seeming more pasta-like and less eel-like (as someone else described the texture). At any rate if I could increase the number of stars from 5 to 6 I would. I love love love the fettucini miracle noodles. Really superb. (Unless you are expecting them to be indistinguishable from real pasta, of course.) I love how easy they are to heat up, and how I can eat high soluble fibre and 'pasta' without vast numbers of carbs and calories.

I have been using this product for many years and finally decided to do a review. The "Miracle Noodle" is a long white noodle made from glucomannan, which is the fiber from the root of the konjac plant. Konjac grows in Southeast Asia including Japan and China. The noodle is mainly water with no calories and very few digestible carbs making it a great pasta substitute for those trying to lose weight, avoid wheat, cut back on carbs, or follow a Keto diet. They are available in different types (fettucine, angel hair, or even rice). Now let me explain my experience with this noodle. The noodles are pre-packaged in water that makes them a little slimy, so you must rinse them under cold water. After I rinse them, I cut the noodles into smaller bites, drain them, and cook them in a tiny bit of sesame oil. The noodle also has a bit of a fishy smell, so cooking it further decreases the sliminess and the "fishy" smell. This is a natural odor that comes from the plant's root and the rinse along with cooking them will decrease the smell. You can boil them or soak in vinegar as well, but I don't think that is necessary. You only have to cook them for a few minutes, but that is personal preference. I will usually cook the noodles for 10-15 minutes, adding soy or tamari sauce, sesame seeds, and a dash of red pepper. When I make it, I will typically add some type of fish, or even tuna from a can (gasp!). I like these noodles and think the taste is all about the preparation. I would not eat them raw or without some type of sauce. Since this noodle is from Asia and has a slight fishy taste, I don't believe it would be good in a more Italian style pasta dish, mac and cheese, or anything with a marinara or olive oil based sauce. There are many ways you can cook with these though: pho, pad thai, ramen, Korean style noodles, or a cold style noodle bowl/dish. Feel free to explore and figure out the recipes that work for you!

I wasn't prepared for the fact they came in a liquid. Weird. I was warned about the faint fish smell. Here's how I prepared them: Put 2-3 qt saucepan of salted water on to boil. Dumped contents into small colander and rinsed well. The slight fishy smell does not stay. It rinsed off. When water is rolling boil dump noodles. Cook three min exactly. Trust me. I also added garlic salt to water. Drain and put in glass bowl add whatever sauce you want. I used marinara. Coat noodles well. I put them in fridge and went to get in my 2 miles. So 1 hour later I was back. Don't judge me.... I had put a pan of the rest of marinara and 2 chicken breast on to simmer and it was bubbling nicely. I microwaved the noodles a min at a time till warm enough. Then poured hot chicken and sauce on top. Added some parm and we enjoyed every bit. What you need to know besides the above: The noodles have an obvious Asian texture. A bit like calamari without the taste or smell. Because of this I cut the long fettuccine noodles smaller. Smaller it not as bad texture wise. They are like tofu. No flavor but they absorb the flavor of sauces beautifully. That's why I put them in the fridge. Another thing. A 7 oz pkg is enough for 2. We cooked 2 packages and had twice as much as we needed. Most importantly. We had been craving pasta. While different, we were very happy with it! Trying Mac and cheese next. Boiling noodles in broth not water and using butter and cheese with a little broth for sauce.

I had been anxiously awaiting this arrival and was suddenly confused as I waited. I've seen these in my local supermarket, for twice the price per package, and they were in the refrigerator section. I was anxious these would arrive while I was at work, and sit out; however, they weren't refrigerated when they arrive. That's not a mark against, I just felt maybe this was questionable? As per other reviews, I knew to expect an odor when I opened the package and rinsed it off as instructed. The smell is quite unpleasant but it does go away. As far as flavor goes, they were not for me. Not bad, but not for me. I tend to be a self-proclaimed texture freak and these just did not sit well with me. I tried a plain one first and my mother-in-law described it best: it tastes like a gummy bear, with no flavor whatsoever. It is very gelatinous just be aware before you buy. Also my vegan brother-in-law did love them!

If you are anything like me, you'll want to experiment with your newly purchased Spiralizer to produce low carb, guilt free pasta in a varíety of presentations. My In Spralize It! Cook book had dozens of recipes I wanted to experiment with. I viewed lots of videos featuring calm, happy Spiralizers cranking away with root veggies: jícama, daikon radish. I'd been fóoled. Until spiralizing time, I hadn't even met a root.vegetable. I chose, as my 1st foray into fetucine based veggies ,noodles dishes: the Inspiralize It! Pad Thai recipe. Have you actually met a jícama? Have U become FB friends w/ a daikon radish? Two words: root vegetables. They were cántankerous with me, insolent. Neither daikon nor jicama were easy to peel, let alone spiralize. These healthful veggies are oddly shaped, do not lend themselves, as their cousin, the easy to spralize zucchini to zippy quick prep. Oh, no, jicama & daikon proved to be the pit bulls of vegetables, not attractive, filled with nutrients, yet so weirdly assymetrical that they were difficult to reposition between the Spiralizer end blades. For my debut jicama based Pad Thai, I managed to work the Spiralizer to render forth about a cup and a half of jicama noodles. I get it now that I should never have begun any Spiralizer recipes before taking stock of my expertise in this arena. Now, please welcome, TA-dah!! My introduction & use of Miracle noodles! I combined, & henceforth, always combine veggie noodles w/Miracle Noodles. I won't bore you with prep details. You will want to rinse, microwave, several times. I added 2 bags of Miracle Fetucinne 2 plump up my scant production of 1 cup of jicama fettuccine. Result: my guests raved about textures, taste test successful! I'm the rockingest hostess I'm my hood, Los Feliz, Ca, where celebrity chefs virtually live next door. Note: the Amazon pricing for Miracle noodles is competetive with barrio supermarkets here. I'm a believer.

Ordered this for my wife after our local grocery has been out stock for several weeks. Product is the same and price was even better.
