Pasta is a cupboard staple which is versatile and delicious. It can be enjoyed in loads of different ways, and most people enjoy the taste of this food. The issue is that it also happens to be packed with carbs, so if you're trying to follow a low carb diet then typically, pasta needs to be avoided.
Having said that, there are some excellent low carb pasta alternatives out there which you can buy, so you can enjoy the taste of pasta without all the carbs. We thought it would be useful to round up the best low carb pasta that we've tried, let's get into it:

CarbZone Low Carb penne

We've featured the CarbZone in a number of guides like this because this brand produces some excellent low carb products, including wraps. The low carb pasta from the CarbZone is actually really tasty - made using soy protein and egg whites, this pasta contains just 14g of carbohydrates per 100g, which is super low and really impressive.

With just 13g of carbohydrates per 100g, this fettuccine pasta from Explore Cuisine is really low in carbs and is also really tasty. Made using edamame beans, this pasta has a great texture and is actually pretty tasty too. The beans used to make the pasta are 100% organic and, as an added bonus, they're also high in fibre and protein (which is why this pasta is in our high protein pasta guide).

Eat Water Slim Pasta penne

Just as with the rice from the Eat Water brand which we included in our low carb rice guide, the Eat Water Slim Pasta is made using konjac flour, and it contains zero carbs. It is said that konjac helps you to feel fuller for longer, so as well as containing no carbs, this pasta will also prevent you from snacking later in the day. The texture of this pasta is a bit softer than what you might be used to, but when you mix it with a nice pasta sauce you really cant tell much of a difference between this and normal pasta.
