    Obey reviews and cooks with QUEST Pasta - Spinach Fettuccine



    Quest Pasta - Spinach Fettucine






    Profile - 20 calories 4 carbs (4g fiber)/ 0 Fat / 0 Protein

    Off the bat the macro's are pretty good if you're on a low carb or keto type diet. I personally don't need to go on these types of diets because of my high metabolism, but this is something to consider when I try carb cycling.

    Uncooked



    Smell - Upon opening the package, it smells like sea water. It's got that briney fresh sea foody smell to it. It quickly goes away after the first rinse. I washed it about 3 times and the smell was nonexistent.

    Taste - I ate a noodle unheated and raw. Couldn't quite get a strong taste of the spinach, but there was a hint of it. Wasn't bad at all and did not taste that sea water smell.

    Texture - Being asian, you're accustomed to almost every type of noodle. So spinach fettucine was fairly different than any other noodle. It looked more like a padthai noodle, but the texture was much different. Probably because the fettucine I usually get is a little bit less wider and It felt like chewing on carmelized onions or biting into a soft onion ring(the onion part). More like a soft chew with a bit of a crunch like an onion.

    Cooked



    So I decided to make chicken carbonara since I had the available ingredients. I set aside the noodles until the chicken was cooked and then mixed it in with the sauce for about a few minutes. Overall macros for this meal was 600 calories 6g carbs (3g fiber) 34g fat 62g protein.

    Taste - The noodles seemed to absorb the carbonara sauce very well. I barely tasted the spinach as the sauce was buttery,creamy and cheesey.

    Texture - The texture remained the same when cooked. I actually added some carmelized onions and some instances I was wondering if it was the noodles or onions I was chewing on.

    Price $3.39 - Kind of pricey if you're used to buying barilla wheat pasta.

    Overall it's something I may consider picking up to eat atleast 2-3 times per week on low carb days(if I do carb cycling). The taste is good. The smell goes away very quickly and once eaten you get a full satisfied feeling. Atleast for me. Thanks Dave for hooking this up!

    They were filling enough, but ended up being hungry again about 2 hr's later. Caved in and ate a PB cup.

    Quest Pasta - Spaghetti Noodles


    Chicken Chow mein




    Profile - 10 calories 3 carbs (3g fiber)/ 0 Fat / 0 Protein

    Uncooked


    Smell - Similar to the fettuccine, it had a briney sea water smell. A few washes and the smell was gone.

    Taste - N/A

    Texture - N/A

    Cooked

    So I decided to make chicken chow mein since I had the some of the ingredients. Didn't have some of the vegetables, but didn't mind. Took about 15-20 minutes to prepare. Overall macros for this meal not including the wontons was 150 calories 6g carbs 1g fat 26g protein.

    Taste - The noodles seemed to absorb the soy sauce and oyster sauce very well. Tasted like legit chow mein.

    Texture - Like the fettucine, it did not have that spaghetti noodle texture to it. It actually reminded me of another type of asian noodle which I'm sure no one else would know. lol

    Price $3.39 - Kind of pricey if you're used to buying barilla wheat pasta.

    I thought this noodle to be more versatile in making a few other things than just spaghetti. Eating this put my carbs at 170g for the day at ease.
