Best Low Carb Pasta Substitute

Let’s just start by stating the obvious: nothing is ever going to be able to truly replicate pasta. Along with pizza, pasta might the GOAT food type on this planet. However, obviously if you want to stay in shape it’s probably not a great idea to eat it too often. Most people who go keto or with other low carb diets often complain about how much they miss having pasta. So, what if I told you that you could still satisfy that fix by using Palmini instead?

Most other pasta substitutes I have tried over the years just don’t get the job done. (Get out of here with spiralizing soggy Zoodles). The prep time can be cumbersome or the texture is just really unpleasant. Palmini offers the best we have seen and tried in terms of providing a pasta experience which is like 50-75% as good as the real thing. The texture is firm and al-dente feeling and the pre-cut noodles are well shaped and easy to grip with a fork. Pasta sauce coats it nicely and helps to mask the heart of palm flavor. For people who aren’t on super strict, low carb diets, the best move is to pair this with regular flour pasta noodles either 75/25 (Palmini to Pasta) or 50/50. For those that are on strict diets, this is the best option you will find to satisfy that craving a few times a month.
