Why Fiber Gourmet Pasta?
Regular spaghetti has about 2g of fibre per serving. Fiber Gourmet has 18g — that is 9x more fibre. It keeps you full longer, supports digestion, and has fewer net carbs. It cooks and tastes like regular pasta. Once you try it, you will not go back.
Meal Prep
- This recipe stores perfectly in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- Reheat in the microwave with a splash of water to keep the pasta from drying out.
- Make a double batch and portion into containers for the work week.
