CRAVING PASTA??? Have you tried Shirataki Konjac Noodles. They are mostly composed of a dietary fiber called glucomannan and contain very few calories and carbohydrates (sometimes even zero). They do not have much flavor by themselves, but absorb flavors well from other ingredients you can combine them with. Shirataki noodles are made from Konjac flour, which comes from the roots of the yam-like Konjac plant grown in Japan and China.
Shirataki noodles are packaged "wet", that is, you purchase them pre-packaged in liquid, and they are ready-to-eat out of the package. You can prepare them by boiling them briefly or running them under hot water, then combining them with other dishes, or adding things like tofu, garlic, spinach, or soy sauce to enhance the flavor.
They come in a VARIETY OF SHAPES:
1. Spaghetti
2. Fettuccine
3. Angel-Hair
-LOW CARB - only 3g of carbs 3 grams of fiber per serving
-LOW CALORIE - 20 calories per 4 oz serving

Meanwhile, prepare noodles, by draining and patting dry. Steam noodles in microwave for 1-2 minutes.
