low point pasta??

  • can any recommend a low point pasta (below 4 points?) thanks so much!!
  • Low-Point Pasta
    Dreamfield's or Barilla Plus are 3 pts per serving and they taste great. Hunts spaghetti sauce is l believe 0 points.
  • FYI on the Barilla Plus you get almost 1 1/2 cups worth of spaghetti and 1 1/2 cups of elbows for 3 points.

    The lowest you will find is whole wheat (not wheat blend) and Barilla Plus.

    However you can do Spaghetti Squash (makes strands like spaghetti) that is 0 points and people say it is a good substitute for pasta.
  • Most whole wheat pastas are also 3pts per serving. I can't tell any real difference in taste and my 9 years old will eat it if I put the sauce on before he sees it's brown . If you crave pasta, but can't spare the points try spegetti squash. I fix mine like a baked spegetti and I've let several co workers try mine when I've taken it for lunch and they have all liked it.
  • I use a low carb pasta called Bella Vita. It is very high in fiber and protein. It is more dense and needs more cooking, but I like that it has only 2 points per serving.
  • Can you post the nutritional info...all low carbs I have seen are still 3 points (180-200 cal/0-1 fat/4-8 fiber). Remember there is a fiber cap at 4 grams.
  • Serving size 3/4 c. dry
    Calories: 160
    Fat: 1gram
    Fiber 8 grams

    I'm aware of the fiber cap.
  • Wow I have never seen 3/4 cup dry as a measurement. Doe 3/4 dry cook up to 1 1/2 cups? Most is 1/2 cup dry that cooks to 1 cup (or there abouts)?
