Low-Carb Pasta Bundle (4 packs)

I was tempted to give this fewer stars because of the price. Even when you buy this cheaper bundle, you're paying just under a quid per portion (going by the portion size suggested on the packaging) for quite small portions of pasta. I understand that the small batches and difference in ingredients justify a higher price, but it's difficult to ignore the fact that you're probably paying up to ten times more for this than regular pasta.

The reason I couldn't give it fewer stars is because of how good the product is. I've tried a few different low carb pastas, and they've all been disappointing. My main issue with all of them has been their rubbery texture. The main culprit seems to be the combination of different types of protein, and since this one also contains different types of proteins I was slightly wary. These concerns turned out to be unwarranted. Does it taste like regular white pasta? No, but it's very close in taste and texture to whole wheat pasta. I tried it with only a bit of butter and grated cheese on top and it was very convincing. Personally, I'd rather have a product that closely mimics the slightly lesser version of pasta, than one that poorly mimics the nicer version. If you add some sauce, I'm not sure I'd be able to tell the difference.

In a just world, the price would be more reasonable. At the same time, it's quite impressive that a product like this even exists. If price isn't an issue, I'm convinced that this is one of the best alternatives to regular pasta that those who limit their carb intake could find. I won't be able to use this as more than an occasional treat due to how expensive it is, but it's nice to know that I'll now be able to satisfy my pasta cravings without loading up on carbs.
