Review: Pasta Zero Noodles

I saw these noodles at Walmart, and I was intrigued because they were packed in a bag of water, in the produce section. The package claimed they were  "all natural" with 15 calories per servings and only 4 carbs.

I check the back, and the ingredients seemed harmless, so I grabbed a couple packs.

I like chickpeas, so these should be good...right??

I followed the directions and gave them a good rinse, and I felt good about it because they did feel like real noodles!

Next the directions said to saute them in a pan until they were dry, then simmer with the sauce for a few minutes. So I did just that.

Still looking like real noodles...

Then I added my homemade alfredo sauce, let them simmer as directed, and gave them a try.

 After the first bite, I tried to remain optimistic about them. "They aren't that bad. I mean, for 4g carbs what do you expect?". After the 2nd bite I conceded that they were, in fact, disgusting and I couldn't eat any more. They don't really have any flavor, but the texture is what got me. They are very, very rubbery, and you have to chew them quite a bit, and after a while they begin to feel like worms. David ate a little more than I did, but he agreed they were not good at all. Total and complete fail. So, I learned my lesson, and next time I want Alfredo pasta I will just have to do some extra laps on the treadmill and earn the real thing!
