| Yummm. I will never have high carb spaghetti again as long as this is on the market. The whopping 26 grams of protein plus the 11 grams of fiber make just one serving a meal in and of itself--although I must have eaten less than a serving each time because the package lasted much more than four uses, which attests to how filling it is. The texture had a great mouth feel--it was not soggy at all; very "sink-your-teeth-into". It is certainly of the angel hair variety, which can be inferred from the word "skinni" in the title--I think it's a pun referring to the nature of the pasta and of the nature one will be if they eat this spaghetti as opposed to the regular kind. :) As far as taste goes, it's the way spaghetti is supposed to be--or at least how I remember the high carb stuff, haha. So far I've only had it with Land O' Lakes spreadable canola oil butter (which, by the way, tastes better than real butter and can obviously spread at colder temperatures) and sometimes some pecorino romano or parmesan cheese, which was excellent. I can't wait to try it with the Bella Vita tomato basil pasta sauce that's coming in my next order. Thanks Dixie Diner and Netrition! |

| If you are on a low carb diet, this is the next best thing. They are high in fiber, low on calories, and taste good. Prepared mine with ground beef. The portion is very generous and makes you feel satisfied. I have tried other low carb pasta brands, but this one is the best. Thanks Dixie Diner, you did it again. |

| I am not a pasta fanatic. My son enjoys spaghetti so I tried this and absolutely loved it. I used a lot of butter with Marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. It has a firmer texture because it has nutritional value. It is egg and soy flour which is better for you. Fantastic find on Netrition's website. I love this product. |

| This pasta is amazing. I haven't found any other pasta that is still on the market with carb counts this low, and it tastes great in all of the dishes I've made with it so far. It does have a bit of a soy-ish flavor and the texture is not the same as regular pasta, but I enjoy both the texture and the flavor. However, it is so insanely expensive that I only purchase it as a treat. I hope Dixie Diner finds a way to lower its prices a bit--I'd eat Skinni Spaghetti every day if I could afford it! The other reviewers are right--it doesn't reheat too well and it's important not to overcook it, but otherwise it's great. |

| YUM! pasta is one of the things I missed most going low-carb. This pasta is great for when I want a big bowl of spaghetti. The texture is a little different but not terrible (but turns kinda gritty if you reheat in the microwave). I cooked a 1/4 of the package (1 serving size) and couldn't finish! Its definitely filling. |
