A short while back I wrote a review on Ronzoni Oven Ready Lasagna noodles.  They're very convenient and they make it easy for my daughter to really get into cooking with us.  In fact, she was able to make a lasagna all by herself.

The problem with them and most pastas is that they are just so loaded with carbs.  And here in the Xeno household we really like to control our carbs.

Dreamfields Foods has been producing controlled carb pastas for a couple of years now.  Sure they start out with the usual 42 grams of carbohydrates per serving as most semolina pastas do, but through a process that I still don't understand, render all but 5 grams undigestible.

I've enjoyed their spaghetti, linguine, penne and on occasion even their elbows.  But just last week a new Variety of Dreamfields Pasta appeared on the shelf at Publix.

I do love my lasagna 

I couldn't wait to try this lasagna out.  The thought of carb-controlled lasagna is just too good.  So following the directions, I boiled up the pasta, carefully drained the water and made my lasagna the old fashioned way. 

The Result

Delicious lasagna.  There is no difference in taste between the Dreamfields Lasagna and any of the traditional "boil first" lasagna noodles I've tried in the past.  I did however enjoy a clear conscience!

Reservation

I have to admit I have fallen in love with the idea of oven ready noodles that require no boiling.  If only Dreamfields can work that out, they'd have the perfect Lasagna.

But until then, if you're watching your carbs, but still crave lasagna, this is a perfect solution.

Enjoy

Hmmm. When I've tried low-carb pastas in the past, they've all tasted bad and/or had bizarre mealey textures. Perhaps there's hope yet for a decent low-carb pasta....
