Tofu Shirataki Noodles

Everyone in my family enjoyed these healthy, unique Tofu Shirataki Noodles.  

It is a pasta alternative that has a little bit of a chewy texture and is made with tofu and a blend of soybean and yam flour.  Unlike pasta, it's gluten-free, low in calories and low in carbs.  These noodles are also cholesterol-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, vegan and kosher certified. It is offered in a variety of shapes including, macaroni, spaghetti, fettuccine and angel-hair.

I served this filling Tofu Shirataki spaghetti Noodles with pasta sauce, feta cheese and Italian seasoning.  I also served it with soup, which tasted fabulous.  I like the ease of preparing it.  We have to rinse the pasta thoroughly, drain then boil it for about 2 to 3 minutes and drain again before serving.  Since the pasta is perishable keep it in the fridge.  The product is made in USA and is available in all these stores in Canada, USA and online.
