FAQ
I reviewed seven different types of low carb pasta and tested them against this spaghetti sauce. My favorites are hearts of palm noodles, wheat based noodles from Great Low Carb Bread Co, and lupin flour pasta. Shirataki noodles can also be used. Spaghetti squash or even zucchini noodles can be used as well.
Though pasta is versatile and inexpensive, it's also high in carbs. Choosing a whole wheat variety is typically lower in carbs. Just 1 cup (151 grams) of cooked spaghetti packs 46 grams of carbs (43 grams net carbs). The same amount of whole wheat pasta provides 45 grams (39 grams net carbs).
Shirataki noodles are long, white noodles also known as konjac or miracle noodles. They're a popular, low-carb alternative to pasta because they're very filling yet have few calories. They're made from a type of fiber known as glucomannan, which comes from the konjac plant.
