    Default Shirataki Tofu Noodles

    Has anyone tried these? I found them while shopping in the tofu section of the supermarket and they're so good. Pasta puts major weight on me so I was so excited to find this! It's fettucine like noodles made of soy and has like 20 calories and 3 g of carbs per serving. They are fanastic but I was wondering... are these too good to be true? If I could eat them all the time I totally would (moderately of course)....but will I gain weight from these like I do from pasta?

    They are squishy and yucky IMO.

    Thanks to SW, I now usually replace pasta noodles with spagetti squash. Now if only there was a lasagna squash...

    You can make lasagna with eggplant slices or thin slices of tofu instead of noodles.

    Yes I have had this... its pretty good. I am not crazy about it, but it will do. Especially comparing the cals/carbs to normal pasta!

    I didn't like it and I love tofu. Maybe if someone had cooked them for me who knew how to incorporate them in a recipe better, it would have tasted better.

    Have you had kelp noodles? I LOVE them! They're basically raw seaweed (the outside of the kelp is green, but if you peel that part off, you'll see that it's white inside. http://www.kelpnoodles.com/about_us_faq.html I get them from Whole Foods with a peanut sauce... good for people doing raw diets.

    Eggplant, sweet! Will the eggplant be cooked well enough if I just layer it on raw and bake the lasagna for an hour?

    Yeah, if you slice it thin like lasagna noodles it should be fine. I like to sear mine first in a little olive oil though.

    ^^^ thanks, Yek!!! I'm going to try this next time, I think I should do a little searing, too since I slice things a bit on the chunky side.

    The moosewood (original) cookbook has a great layered egplant parm recipe. It is so delicious!
