Aviate Keto Pasta Rotini - Low Carb (3g Net) Lupini Noodles, High Protein (20g), Gluten-Free, Made with Lupin Flour, Plant Based Vegan, Keto-friendly, Low Carb - Rotini (8oz) (Pack of 3)

I was exited to find these, as I have been back on keto since early April, but cautiously optimistic. I have tried many alternatives (Shirataki noodles were the worst texture for me, felt like I was chewing on what I assumed octopus legs would be like..really unappealing), so I was willing to compromise for something mushy over octopus texture, based on other reviews. I will admit, the texture was a bit mushy, but I struggled with trying not to make them too al dente, so I may have cooked them too long, but they were still edible and pretty good in my dish! I am going to experiment with maybe cooking them to al dente then giving them an ice bath hoping they absorb more water without the heat making them mushy as II am dying for a pasta salad! I did have a positive experience with my ketones and glucose numbers having tracked both before and after I ate the pasta with dinner. Although admittedly, it wasn’t a clean test as I had asparagus with butter and oil about an hour before testing. My starting numbers were 1.7 ketones and 90 glucose (blood testing for both), and about 3 hrs later (meant to do two but forgot) it was 1.6 ketones and 95 glucose. Meal was chicken in a sun-dried tomato cheese sauce so there were other things that contributed to the number changes. But even taking that into account, I was pleasantly surprised! I agree, the cost is definitely high, maybe because it is still trying to develop a following to reduce manufacturing cost, don’t know, but I will keep buying and hope the price eventually comes down. Hope this helps others and if anyone finds a way to cook these to the perfect pasta salad texture, please share!!!

They cook quickly and you can eat them. That's where the praise ends. It doesn't taste or feel like pasta. At no point will you forget that you are eating something that is anything but a poor, very expensive imitation. The taste is meh-it's not as strong as some other substitutes for pasta, but it leaves a lot to be desired and is overwhelming. I typically eat it with a homeade alfredo sauce, and it's stronger than the garlic and peppery flavor, of which there is quite a lot. The worst part, though, is the texture. It is extremely grainy, and even when only cooked to al dente, it feels like there is some strange mush in your mouth. Avoid, especially for the insane price.

It cooks fast. Tastes slightly different but not bad at all when eating it by itself (I just took a taste to compare to regular pasta by itself taste and texture). Texture is not bad, kind of similar to regular pasta. I made this and added Cheese Sauce and then also added some chillies and tomatoes to cheese sauce to test it all. I am impressed with the product and it exceeded my expectations. Keto Dad was cooking it online and I thought I would give it a try. It is very pricey so I cannot eat this often but it sure was a great substitute for the regular pasta. I would recommend it - I have tried another kind with cassava or something (different brand) and it was awful. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT if you are adding sauce or putting something over it that has some sauce or flavor. If eating it alone, maybe not most people's choice. I definitely would not assume that it is OK for a diabetic or prediabetic person - if you are one of these people, please check before and after blood sugars because everyone is different and one must not assume it is OK (for this or any other Keto or low-carb product). I give this 5 stars on everything Except the price. I give it 2 1/2 stars for the price. It ain't cheap,esp for family.

These are a great replacement for pasta, and they don't spike my blood sugar like traditional pasta and some of the other pasta substitutes. Good bite/tooth-feel when cooked to directions. One caveat though, is with the high amount of fiber, they cause some bloating and flatulence. Even though the package makes 4 servings, I suggest splitting into 6-8 servings to get accustomed to the fiber content.

I have never had a product become such an instant staple in my diet. The nutrition on these is basically protein and fiber which is the bomb for low fat and low carb diets. I've made low fat, low carb macaroni and cheese, ground beef spaghetti, chicken noodle soup, and sesame peanut pasta. Every dish has been the kind of meal makes you feel warm, full, and well taken care of. No other pasta has been truly keto like this, so it's just such an absolute thrill! I only cook them for 4 minutes, then strain. I actually love the shorter cook time. Usually adding the pasta will be the last step of making any dish since it is prone to falling apart. I try to avoid a ton of stirring after straining them. I either top the noodles (spaghetti), toss the noodles (sesame peanut pasta), or add the noodles and then slip in around the sides gently lifting and dropping the mixture to get them integrated (mac n cheese, chicken noodle soup). My first time making chicken noodle soup I let it simmer for a long time with the noodles in and they broke apart some, but man it still tasted so good! The noodles have a slightly different, grainier texture than wheat noodles. For me this is just simply not an issue. I won't be eating pasta if it's not this, so I'm happy to have the slight texture variation. Honestly, I don't think about it much once I dig into a dish though. I just enjoy the flavors and texture of having delicious noodles again! Edit: After eating this product regularly for a month we have unfortunately realized that it’s giving us so much gas we can’t keep eating it. It has gotten to the point that I have to make sure I don’t have any place to be for the next couple of days after we eat it. It makes me sad because we enjoy eating it so much, but we must part ways. If they ever find some way of processing the bean or adding digestive enzymes to cut down on gas I hope I hear about it!

Just made this for the first time tonite with chicken broccoli alfredo. Was very impressed. The texture may be a little different but not in a bad way really. Plus the sauce might have helped. But overall, good product so far and look forward to using the other two bags.

This is an excellent low carb option for those who follow the keto diet or thise who want to enjoy a low carb pasta option. This pasta does not taste like pasta made from regular flour, however it does have the same consistency when cooked. I like the flavour. But you do need to salt the water and cook for about 4/5 mins on the boil. I saw a few reviews where it had gone mushy for some, however I have found it holds its shape for me even in soup. In my opinion this product is an excellent option for those who want low carb pasta!

Great products.

Cook time is perfect noodles

This pasta is heavy and gummy. The texture I can forgive, but the gas it gives is out of this world. I am lactose intolerant and even when I eat diary, I don't get gas this bad. Lasted a long time. Definitely not buying again

I will likely eat what I ordered, but the texture is really hard to get past so I wont be ordering again. If you aren't sensitive to textures, you might be fine... I thought I was ok with weird textures- but these proved that wrong. The flavor isn't bad though, fairly neutral. If you are looking for a low carb pasta alternative, and can handle slightly doughy mushy textures you will be fine.
