Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: nice change of pace Cons: small portions I tried the elbows & cheese as one of my thanksgiving leftovers dishes. I mixed in some cut up baked turkey and it made for a nice meal. I also added a bit more extra grated cheese. I thought the texture of the pasta was slightly better than Keto, but I still needed the cheese and turkey to make it better. I'm not sure I would have like it as much by itself. bellina Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2003 Posts: 7 Review Date: Mon December 22, 2003 Would you recommend the product?

No | Price you paid?: $4.50 | Rating: 1    Pros: none Cons: expensive It had a weird taste. I couldn't get through the first bite and threw it all away. I even added cheese and butter. It's just not tasty. I will never buy this again. janross53 Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 3 Review Date: Fri January 16, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $2.00 | Rating: 1    Pros: None. Cons: Rubbery consistency. Please don't waste your money on this product. The pasta tastes like tiny, cut-up inner tubes because it is very rubbery and completely tasteless. Divided Sky Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Maine Posts: 7 Review Date: Sun January 18, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: If you have pets, they might actually eat this. Cons: By pets I mean large shark, pot-bellied pigs, and rabid squirrels (must be in heat!) My only regret is the scale asking me to rate this goes no lower than one. Otherwise, instead of a "review," I'd like to think of this more as a "warning." The low-carb industry can't do pasta yet. It simply can't be done. It blows my mind that people sit around a large oak table (which would be tastier than the Mac and Cheese), and draft a product, have it pass taste tests, and send it to the market without once saying to themselves, "boy I really need to see someone about this crack addiction." You can eat this stuff, however, if you follow these simple instructions: 1. Eat pasta 2. Kill self 3. Repeat if necessary. crazylori Junior LCF Member Registered: November 2003 Location: NC Posts: 44 Review Date: Tue February 3, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 2    Pros: It was an effort, and it was a change... Cons: Rubbery, strange texture... not anything like Kraft Dinner lol The Alfriedo noodles were ok. The Mac and Cheese was horrible. rubbery - watery... just not good. I think if you needed to have some sort of 'pasta' it would be ok, but you need a lot of overpowering flavor to go with it. In my opinion if you want a pasta type thing get some spaghetti squash and make your own alfriedo sauce lol Kaos0100 Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Alabama Posts: 493 Review Date: Tue February 10, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: I wish there were some Cons: All of them There's only one word to describe this stuff...NASTY microbiology1 MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: April 2004 Location: Boston Posts: 1599 Review Date: Fri April 23, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $2.99 | Rating: 2    Pros: Cons: taste, texture, price This refers to the Pesto Cream Pasta Sides: The shape of the pasta makes it look like wet bandaids. However, it actually tastes like wet rubberbands. The pesto was decent but it doesn't thicken so it all ends up at the bottom of the pot. Do youself a favor, boil three pieces of elbow macaroni and eat those instead. You'll thank me! jshallow01 Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Posts: 20 Review Date: Sun May 9, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: Rubbery Cons: This was awful! Way too rubbery. We threw most of it away. neworleanskitty Blabbermouth!!! Registered: November 2003 Posts: 7348 Review Date: Mon July 12, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $4.59 | Rating: 1    Pros: nothing Cons: everything This is the worst low-carb product I've tried to date. I've used plain atkins pasta with sauces I've made at home, and the texture is a little odd, but what do you expect? These flavored pasta packages are horrendous. One of the perks of a low-carb diet is being able to indulge in cheese... so why is the pasta alfredo completely void of all cheese taste and texture? The sauce is DRY. It coats like dry crust. The flavor is bland. It's supposed to be alfredo, but it tastes like nothing-coated-noodles. For some reason, regular atkins pasta doesn't bother me, but the pasta they put in these flavored noodle boxes are just intolerable. They feel and taste like cardboard. I don't know where the difference comes from, but it's there. Basically... we made the pasta, tasted it once, put it aside, tried it later, and were still unable to stomach this garbage. I wouldn't feed it to a starving dog. PiDevil MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: June 2002 Location: Massachusetts Posts: 1446 Review Date: Fri July 23, 2004 Would you recommend the product?

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: Pasta what?!?! Cons: Had to tweak it I didn't think it was that bad.. actually after tweaking it a bit with bitter and cheese it was good (have to be very careful not to over/under cook that noodleS! tinge_of_crimson Senior LCF Member Registered: July 2004 Location: Los Angeles Posts: 120 Review Date: Wed September 29, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 2    Pros: better options now Cons: back when this was the only pasta option I thought that it was worth a try. Now that there are other options I just can't have this anymore. Anonymous Review Date: Thu September 30, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3    Pros: None Cons: Gross I would never buy this again. I enjoy a variety of low carb products and enjoy them as my tastebuds have adapted to substitutions. Unfortunately I will never buy this product again. (The Atkins fettucine alfredo.) Not2BaBeachballBride Senior LCF Member Registered: August 2004 Location: The Armpit of the USA Posts: 565 Review Date: Sat October 9, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $1.20 | Rating: 1    Pros: Comes in a pretty blue box Cons: Tastes exactly like the pretty blue box I tried the elbows and cheese. After the first bite full I am pretty sure they actually used elbows from corpses to make the "pasta". I have hair ties that are less rubbery than this crap. I know they say that Dr. Atkin's demise was caused by a slip on some ice. I am pretty sure it was actually from eating more than two bites of this miserable rat chow. I can see the "elbow" portion of the description (considering it the pasta is tough, bent and made from elbows) but the cheese half is truly questionable. Since cheese is something we low-carbers are actually allowed, I find this puzzling. I am pretty sure that they merely wave a slice of cheese over the box and then send it off because I found it impossible to taste any in the finished product. The only way I would recommend this product is if I hated the people on this site or a group of gun toting Quick Cuisine militants stormed my home demanding me to. This is by far the absolute WORST low carb product I have ever tasted. Mind you, this is coming from someone who can even tolerate soy if need be... so it's pretty bad. If you feel tempted to buy this product you have been warned. Petlady MAJOR LCF POSTER!

No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Pros: Cons: Easy to make. The box probably would have tasted better. I've tried two of them and ended up throwing both batches out. Ugh. Don't waste your time/money on these.
