Under 9 net carbs (carbs minus fiber) is non-restricted.
Rotini is not restricted.

How do you cook the rotini? My packet doesn't have any instructions and I don't see a preparation method on the IdealProtein website.

I just boiled it like noodles for about 5-7 min. They never get really soft. Very al dente (sp?) no matter how long you cook them.

The rotini needs to be boiled in liquid for 10-12 minutes. I usually use chicken broth to help up the flavor a little bit.

Marni
Plainprotein.com has all the product labels online, which makes it easy for any of us to view nutritional info.

You have been given correct info here...nonrestricted. Enjoy!

I made it for lunch this weekend, and it was really good. I think by itself it wouldn't be so great. The texture is different from normal pasta. I sauteed up some bell peppers, mushrooms and cabbage, threw the cooked pasta in with some seasonings and a little drizzle of olive oil. I think the crunch of the veggies offsets the texture of the pasta. I had the Tomato Basil flavor rotini.

I just got one pack of the tomato basil rotini (a new product) from my coach. Didn't really care for the plain one, but thought I'd try. I ate it with WF garlic/herb sauce, which was gross, so that might have been part of the problem.

I'm thinking turkey or tuna salad with this pack...and I'm definitely going to saute up some veggies and throw them in. Great suggestion!
