BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb DreamFields pasta

Has anyone else tried the DreamFields pasta?
It claims to have 5g of "digestable" carbs per serving, and is amazingly delicious. Tastes just like regular pasta.
The 5g is too good for me to believe though! Particularly since this is the first time I've heard of this "digestable" carb concept.

Still, I made american-chop-suey with it and it was SO delicious. I haven't had good pasta is such a long time. If its true, and most of the carbs are treated like fiber, its a dream come true!

All they mean by digestable carbs is net carbs - they mean carbs your body digests. They are making a distinction between digested carbs and fiber <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'll have to give that a try!

I am at this moment trying the Dreamfields pasta. I'm eating it with Think Thin Romano cheese tomato sauce. The pasta itself has a very good taste and texture. No one would know this pasta was low carb if you served it to them and didn't tell them. The sauce however leaves some to be desired. It's taste is kind of plain. It also leaves a bit of a bitter taste in your mouth. I think it is because it is too acidic. Oh well, next time I think I'll make my own sauce with seasoned Hunts tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.

I had purchased other low carb pasta, but I never had the nerve to cook it.

I had a pound of nice shrimp to cook. I was dead tired & didn't feel like making 2 pots of pasta or anything else to go with my shrimp. I was very pleasantly surprised about the Dreamfields pasta and my husband had no complaints. Also, the pricing is better for Dreamfields.

Tonight we are having fresh uncooked tomato sauce served over Dreamfields penne. :rolling:

We've tried many different low carb pastas and have different levels of success with them - really the answer is to take the sauce you normally put on pasta and put it on vegetables instead. It's the sauce you love, not really the pasta "flavor". And pasta gives you little nutrients, while veggies give you a lot <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I agree with putting the sauce on veggies, especially spaghetti squash. The first time we tried it, it tasted a bit on the sweet side, but now my husband (who is not a low carber) and myself eat it and like it best this way!

I have never heard of dreamfields - can you pick that up at any normal grocery store? Thanks

I always buy mine a super walmart. Meijer has it too I think. As for putting sauce on veggies, I wish that worked for me but I find it completely unappetizing. I really hate squash. I've tried it quite a few times hoping I would like it if it were cooked differently or I would get used to it but no luck. I try to eat a good amount of salads, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes (cooked only), onions and peppers, but thats about all I like. I suppose I'm a picky eater. Funny how there aren't a lot foods packed with carbs that I don't like. How annoying.
