There's nothing better than a big bowl of pasta, but for those of us on a diet or watching our calories, they can be few and far between. Well, no longer! Let me introduce Slendier Spaghetti, made from the Konjac plant.
The Konjac plant is grown in Asia and has been used as a flour or jelly alternative for centuries. When prepared in long thin noodles and cooked, it has a very similar consistency as cooked pasta. The best part, it's high in fibre and has almost no calories!
Combine this with any of your favourite pasta flavours and it's a sure-fire diet hit.
