I also tried this product and didn't gain and it is great compared to soy pasta..

Same as normal pasta - 8 minutes is what I use for spaghetti.

The penne box says 10-12 minutes, which sounds about normal.

OK...i have to go get some of this now! I miss my pasta!

A rice product would be great. I too have had the prodcut twice with no gains. Woo fantastic post.

I have had it twice now - the 3/4 cup serving (dry) makes a nice big bowl of pasta that tastes just like I (vaguely) remember pasta tasting. No negative scale effects. Awesome!

I'm sure it was purely psychological, but I finally broke down a cooked a serving of the linguine for dinner. ... Ten minutes later I was dying for ice cream (or anything sweet, really) and had far more than one serving of LC ice cream (something I hardly ever do).

I'm glad it works for some people, but I don't think I'll be having it again any time soon. Sigh.

CarlolynC,
Did you get this info from Dreamfields themselves?
I was wondering about people boiling the pasta then baking it for Mac and Cheese or other baked dishes weather they would be ingesting all the carbs.
Thanks,
Susie

Thanks for the research. I think this stuff is terrific but we only eat it maybe once every other week - too many other good things to cook!

I just ordered my first Dreamfield's pasta. Looking forward to giving it a try, because the Bella Vita brand pasta made me gag. I do like the Bella Vita sauce tho...

Donald it's fantastic I think Woo's research was pretty spot on too. I personaly try to only eat it twice a month. Pasta was never really a trigger food for me so I don't worry about it to much.

I tried it for the first time last week. I had it with a few italian sausage, and some Ragu spaghetti sauce. Not mom's, but the variety was very welcome, and it was good.

I probably had almost a double portion.

I did not get hungry or tired afterwards.

I lost 2 lbs last week, my norm.

Right now I'm keeping it to a once in a week luxury, just because it's just another thing to cook when I get home.

I'm visiting parents tomorrow. My mother sadly informed me that my father was making shrimp creole, and that she'd do something else for me. No problem! I've got Dreamfields now! Slap some of that creole on some pasta, and I'm good!

is dreamfields suitable for induction?

I was curious because I've always been one of those cold pasta salad people...no need to reheat,

That's really depressing if the fridge makes the count go up! I have some pasta salad in the fridge that I made yesterday. Everyone knows that pasta salad is akways better tasting a day or so later after the flavors mesh together! Oh well. Guess you can't expect everything to be perfect.

I'd say no. Follow those Induction guidlines from the book to the letter!

I'm trying the pasta tonight for the first time with Ragu LC sauce. Looking forward to it.

I just had the penne pasta and it rocked!

Of course, I made way too much...have always had problems gaging how much pasta to boil.

But it tasted great. And compared to Belle Vita (pa-tooey ) it's like night and day.

A++
