Hi guys,
I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to try Miracle Noodle tonight and let you know how it is! There are two types of these noodles-- the tofu kind and the regular kind. I'm going to try the angel hair style regular kind. They are made from the root of some plant and is soluble fiber, so there are no calories and no carbs. There is a recipe for them on YouTube by "Imskinnyinside" and I'm going to try a modified version of that.

From what I understand, when you open them there is a fishy smell, but all you have to do is rinse them thoroughly under running water for about 5 minutes and pat them dry with paper towels and the fishy smell is gone. Also, I've read they are a little more chewy than pasta and they're tasteless and will take on the taste of whatever sauce they are in.

I'm doing a low-carb diet to speed up my weight loss for a while, so I bought some pasta sauce that is 5 carbs per serving, some ground steak, and some mozzarella cheese and am going to do a pasta bake. I'll let you know how it turns out later this evening!!

I occasionally make these too, they are not bad and just follow the direction, the fish smell is not much.

Okay, so I just had them. And they're really not bad as a zero cal zero carb replacement for pasta. So it's true that they are rather tasteless, but take on the taste of the sauce. I made a meat sauce, mixed in the pasta and put it in a casserole dish. Then I topped it with mozzarella cheese and put it in the oven on 350 for about 18 min.
One thing I will say is that since I was really hungry and hadn't eaten that much earlier, I ate them a bit too fast and didn't chew enough.... so they came back up. But I'm not saying they're not band-friendly. I think if I chewed properly they would've stayed down.

I might try them with Philly cooking cream soon.. Also, I was thinking about doing a Ramen noodle type dish with them. There are a lot of recipes out there, so I think I can have some good variety.
