Well yes, today more and more people when they want to lose weight choose to eat pasta without calories or with negligible calories, for example less than 50 for a hearty dish.

Many are already familiar with shirataki paste, which is konjac or glucomannan paste that contains about 6-8 calories per 100 grams. Today the offer of shirataki has expanded to various formats, such as lasagna and penne, and we can find it online also flavored, for example with spinach or pumpkin.

In this article we will see 5 types of pasta with no calories or very few calories, including shirataki in the new appetizing variations. In addition, we will find out how to best season this pasta.

5 TYPES OF PASTA WITHOUT CALORIES OR WITH VERY FEW CALORIES

• Spaghetti with seaweed kemp .

  These are noodles very similar to those of Chinese soy, therefore with a gelatinous appearance. They should be boiled in water for at least half an hour, drained and seasoned with seafood or vegetables, tossing them in a pan with the sauce. Not containing starches, slow sauces are not recommended, because the pasta does not retain the sauce. The best price is on the site of oriental products Mifan: spaghetti kemp. Each serving contains only 14 calories and each pack is for three servings.
  Also suitable for keto, paleo, low fat, vegan and low carb diets.

• Cauliflower rice .

  The famous cauliflower rice that is very popular in the United States can be bought ready-made, flavored in various flavors or natural. Calories are 20 per 100 grams of product.

  

  It can be found on the Italian website Pinkfoodshop: Cauliflower Rice. 
  Also suitable for low carb, vegan, low fat, paleo diets.

• Palm pasta and rice.

  I have already reviewed the hearts of palm pasta here.
  Basically, it is pasta of various shapes, including lasagna, and rice, obtained from the heart of palm. They have a sour taste and are very digestible unlike other types of calorie-free pasta. Rice can be used in rice salads, just rinse it well under warm water. The pasta can be soaked or in boiling water for a few minutes, drain it well and season it with a well-reduced vegetable sauce (it is worth saying that having no starches, it does not retain the sauce). Calories are 20 per serving. Palmini is my favorite diet pasta.

  

  You can buy it in multipacks at Amazon here: Palmini Low Carb Rice | 4 g of carbohydrates | (Pack of 3) . Alternatively, on Pinkfoodshop in linguine or spaghetti format .
  Perfect with a pesto sauce or stir-fried with mushrooms or peppers and a teaspoon of oil.
  Suitable for a low carb diet (no keto), a vegan, low fat, paleo diet.

• Shirataki flavored or in another format.
  

  Today, as I said in the introduction, there are new shapes of shirataki pasta and also the possibility of taking them flavored (however the flavor does not change much) for example with spinach, pumpkin or carrot. My advice is to focus on spaghetti or noodles for the format. Spaghettoni have a pleasant texture, are very tasty with seafood, reduced sauce with minced meat or vegan, pesto, sautéed vegetables. You can find them on Amazon in multipacks: BITTER Shirataki PASTA – large spaghetti, 4 x 390 grams, shirataki konjac, gluten-free, 4 pack.  
  For the flavored ones, the Italian site of oriental products Zen Market has them all. Both different shapes (including penne and pizzoccheri) or with spinach, pumpkin, carrot, seaweed flavor or added to yam root (tapioca). On this page you will find the complete offer.  Suitable for any type of diet.

• Slim Pasta.

  Slim Pasta is pasta with glucomannan, therefore like shirataki, but with the addition of a small percentage of special oat fiber (the Juroat). Another brand that uses this composition, creating it for the first time and obtaining an organic product, is Better Than Pasta , available only on Amazon in boxes of 15 packs.
  Better Than Pasta Spaghetti Zero Carbohydrates | (15)

  This Konjac and Juroat mix makes it slightly more porous and the calories are always very low, like regular shirataki.

  Unlike normal shirataki, moreover, Slim Pasta can be bought already seasoned, each 100 grams of product gives 66 calories, about 100-110 per serving. In short, you don’t have to do anything apart from heating it in a pan. Basically they are ready meals. This version is sold by Mg Food: slim pasta all’arrabbiata , pasta with a Mediterranean flavor , curry pasta .
