Atkins 250g Cuisine Penne Pasta

Good flavor
The flavor was good, the texture was on the al dente side, the price was ridiculous

texture and taste are just like real penne
I have tried numerous pasta substitutes and they either taste like cardboard or they simply don't get soft enough to be enjoyable to eat. I have been on the Keto diet for 3 years and missed having pasta dishes. I only wish that Atkins would make spaghetti and other pasta shapes as well as penne. This is excellent pasta!

Very good!
This is a low carb pasta, so I am evaluating it as such. I received it in about a week. It has a very good taste, no aftertaste like some noodles. It is a bit chewier than regular pasta, but nothing like the chewiness of those whole grain brown pastas. One box equals about 3 and 2/3 dry cups of noodles before cooking, I measured. It is much more filling than white pasta however, so I've learned to make less than I am used to eating (also a plus). For the people complaining about the serving size of Atkins pastas on Amazon, please check a regular box of noodles in your kitchen, which has a serving size of 2 ounces for a huge number of carbs. I will buy again, and I am new to low carb eating, and still very picky.

It’s pasta by name, but sadly not so much in taste
I waited a..while but not as long as others had. Yes I too read reviews but I had been on Atkins for almost 3 months without any pasta. So I was really looking forward to PASTA!!!!! Yeah well see I only gave it 2 stars. It was not the best but not the worse either. The brown color not as good & off putting too but did slightly take me a minute. The taste just is NOT that white sweet sugar in our blood spiking delicious yummy Italian noodles i’d Been craving months for. What a let down so if that is also what u were expecting You too will be disappointed. Save you money. It was though fresh and will not expire for months noted this because it has have been issues w others.

It is good for low carb pasta
It is good for low carb pasta. The texture is different than regular pasta. Which, can be expected. This is for phase 2,3, and 4 of Atkins diet. 11.5 net carbs per serving. It is not on the carb tracker for Atkins. I do not understand why it is not sold in USA stores.

Not worth it
Not worth the money. Flavor not at all appealing. Very firm, have to overcook a while to get them soft.

Good noodle
I've been dying for noodles since starting my low carb diet and this was actually pretty good. Alot of low carb noodle replacements are not worth any type of money but I'll definitely be buying this again. It allowed for me to enjoy a variety of meals.

Loving this low carb penne
I'm stoked to be able to make one of my favourite pastas while I'm doing keto. Carb count in this is moderate but if I'm careful and don't overdo things I can enjoy my fave. It's very satisfying so I don't need a big serve. I found the texture is excellent if I cook the pasta for 5-6 minutes longer than instructed. It's still a bit tough and chewy at the 15 minutes as on the pack. It didn't show any signs of falling apart when I cooked it longer. This pasta freezes well too and I can't taste any difference between this and "normal" penne. Loving it!

A great low carb alternative
Honestly this pasta is great, considering that it resembles actual pasta in some aspects. Obviously pasta lovers will see a void in this product because it's not made with the same ingredients as your normal pasta. If you're on a low carb diet though, whether for dietary or simply health reasons, it is a great swap and you won't be diaappointed. Just a note that this pasta does take a bit of extra cooking time and tastes a lot nuttier than your usual pasta (think the taste of wholemeal pasta).

Good Low Carb Pasta
It doesn't have much flavour, but neither does normal pasta. It allows me to eat pasta and stay low carb. That is a big plus for me!

Found wanting
I found the pasta to be chewy, bland-tasting, & generally a bit of a chore to eat. To add, the penne is too narrow to pick up much sauce.But you get plenty for the money, & it meets its nutritional claims.Plus, taste is so personal; at the price, I'd agree that it's worth finding out for yourself. It wasn't for me - but for you, who knows?

Fantastic Low Carb Pasta
This pasta allows me to eat pasta, whereas before, I could not eat pasta due to the high carbs - so I'm a massive fan! Sure, this pasta is no match for your usual high quality pastas, say Barilla for example, but neither are the macros! If you don't need to worry about carbs, don't choose this pasta. However, if you need a low carb option, this pasta really is fantastic. It takes a little getting used to, but after a couple of serves, I've grown to love it!
