mac & cheese

I saw that in the catalog, I was thinking about buying it but was a little unsure about it..so tell us how it is once you've tried it!

I've heard it's kind of like eating flavored cardboard, so do, please let us know how it is! Thanks :laughing

I had the atkins penne tonight. It is a little like flavored cardboard or very stale regular pasta. Although it is edible. For those of us who can't have the real thing, this will do once in a while. My recommendation: use lots of cheese on top. I had it with cheese, chicken, and Walden farms alfredo sauce (which is not bad for something with no carbs or calories).

Spaghetti Squah

I would expirement with spaghetti squash, I think its much better then soy pasta, and cheaper. I made some with a garlic cream sauce tonight, and it was AWESOME. I'm sure it would be good under some meatballs and sauce too.

I tried the cheese and pasta and it was like eating rubber. Two thumbs down for this one.

Atkins Spaghetti - A Review from Someone who Ate It

Atkins does a lot of things right. Spaghetti is not one of them. The texture alone is terrible. It is very chalky and flat. I read on CNN today that any wheat pasta is acceptable, I may look into that. At 9 carbs a serving, I did have high hopes for the spaghetti. I would not recommend it to anyone who enjoyed pasta. It's not worth it.

yea i 2nd the YUCK on the atkins pastas, i bought the atkins rotini and i tried it 4 different ways walden farms alfreado,<----<< really terribable,

I got the penne pasta. It is a bit cardboardish, but I make it with butter, garlic, and either canned tuna or chicken, and it's not bad. Crappy pasta is better than no pasta at all, and since this is the first time I've had pasta since september, I'm not about to complain.

Atkins Macaroni & Cheese

I spent $5 on a box of Atkins Macaroni & Cheese and it was simply the most horrific stuff I have ever put in my mouth. The "noodles" took twice as long to cook as the box stated, they were crumbly and strange in texture and tasted exactly like concentrated cardboard. I even Dr'd the sauce with grated cheese and butter and ended up only being able to eat probably 8 or 9 noodles before I threw the whole thing away. It was so bad that my cat (who eats everything) wouldn't even fall for one noodle and ran away.

I have no idea how this ever passed a taste-test and it shouldn't be on the shelves. Next time, if I absolutely have to have pasta, I will take a fork-full of the real stuff off of a friend's plate.

I'd really like my $5 back and the experience erased from my memory banks. Simply awful.

Tonight, I bought the Atkins Endulge vanilla ice cream cups. Only four net carbs. They were so good. I really liked it. Has anyone else tried them yet? :capital

I have, and agree, they are good.

I tried the Atkin's spaghetti noodles tonight. They were NASTY!!! My bf went grocery shopping and bought regular tortellini and ravioli for himself, and thought he was getting me a treat with the Atkin's noodles. I couldn't eat them. I felt bad, since he really thought he was doing something nice by getting them for me, but I just couldn't eat them. Those that said they taste like cardboard were right. The texture isn't anything like real pasta, and I noticed when I put them in the strainer that they had a strange smell to them as well. At 5 carbs per portion, I'd much rather "spend" those carbs on good veggies.
