Edamame Spaghetti

I bought this product recently after my small grocery store stopped carrying House brand shirataki. They carry NuPasta now, but it's double the price. I found this at a larger grocery store (RCSS here in Canada.) It was $7.99 for 2 packages, and that's 8 servings. A buck a serving is pretty good, comparable to House shiritaki. There was also a fettuccini style, IIRC. I might try that next time.

It's easy and fast to cook, only needing to be boiled for 2-4 min. It comes out like al dente angel hair pasta. I like the texture. It tastes slightly like peas. I had it with some cheese sauce like a mock mac n' cheese, and it was very good.

I find it quite filling. Note the high amounts of protein and fiber. That's a bowel bomb and will stop me from overdoing it.

(This is from the Cdn packaging. The website's nutrition facts are scaled slightly differently but it seems to be the same product.)

One complaint I have is the packaging. There's no way to reseal it. I did my best with a sandwich baggie and an elastic band. Maybe I'll have to buy one of those tall spaghetti tins I had back in the bad ol' days!

I don't like consuming much soy, but I think it will make a nice treat to keep in the pantry.

Here’s some with chicken, bell peppers and pesto:
