This is great for post ops like my husband and myself who cannot eat pasta post op without getting very ill. I have even tried flax pasta, whole wheat pasta, etc and all of them have made us sick. This doesn't! Finally after 2 years we can have spaghetti again with Walden Farms no carb Marinara Sauce
(12 oz. $4.99 at http://www.waldenfarms.com/products/sauce_pasta.html) I will write a review for it and their Alfredo no carb sauce soon.

Tofu Shirataki is a great pasta alternative made from blending the root of the Konnyaku - a member of the yam family and tofu.

Shirataki noodles come "wet" - packed in liquid. They are ready to eat out of the package. I usually just rinse them under hot water, cut them up a few times with kitchen shears, and add them to the dish I'm cooking. Unfortunately, they cannot be frozen.
Shirataki noodles don't have a real taste of their own. Although in some cases the liquid they come in does have a (hard to describe) flavor, I find this can be easily washed off, though some people like to use a short period of boiling.
