I have said it before and i will of course say it again - I love pasta and simply cannot live without it! As with many people I have tried the whole "no-carb, low-carb" diet, whereby pasta is a big NO-NO! It was painful, most certainly not possible long term and as with many diets - did nothing! Zoodles are cute and all - but have no place trying to replace pasta!
This is where San Remo comes in! It provides the same great taste and energy requirements of a good bowl of pasta PLUS an array of nutritional benefits! From wholemeal to spelt and now the amazing high protein, low carb legume range, San Remo has me (and you) covered! Say goodbye to Zoodles and hello to San Remo! In the recipe below I used the spelt pasta, though any of the San Remo range will work!
