Pasta. Just the word alone makes me hungry. I have an everlasting love for Italian food (pasta in particular) and I am always on the quest to make it healthier. While pasta dishes typically contain a high level of carbohydrates, calories, and even fats, I am pretty sure I just found a solution! Pappardelle's Pasta, a local Colorado company, aims to please all types of pasta-eaters (even us picky health nuts). They have a variety of handmade pastas that are sure to knock your socks off. Some of their unique flavor combinations include: basil-tangerine, chipotle black bean, and even chocolate! They really are breaking into a whole new world of noodles.
From flat-cut pastas, shaped pastas, to orzo pastas, Pappardelle's hits a new mark with their exceptional ingredients and flavor. These pastas are colorful and they actually taste exactly like the ingredients they are made with! It isn't often that a basil-garlic pasta actually looks and tastes like basil! How they do it, I don't know- but I sure am glad to have found this company! They are outstanding.
If that wasn't great enough, Pappardelle's has a line of 'Nutritional Pastas' that stand out among other pastas on the shelf. These are fabulous and ridiculously good for you! Their 'Luce Fettuccine' contains only 7 grams of net carbohydrates and 15 grams of protein! That is unheard of in the pasta world and I am pretty excited about it! I whipped up one of these nutritional pastas last night, and I was literally blown away by the flavor, texture, and overall quality of this product! See below for a picture of their delicious Spinach Garlic Fettuccine Luce in a chicken pomodoro sauce.

I don't know how I will ever eat another pasta again- in fact, I just might purchase a stock pile of these delicious darlings and never look back!
