THE 7 BEST HEALTHY PASTA ALTERNATIVES

CHICKPEA PASTA

Chickpea pasta is gluten-free, higher in fiber, higher in protein, and slightly lower in calories than traditional pasta. I recommend Banza pasta!  It pairs well with a LOT of different sauces, ranging from thick to thin. Swipe up for a mac & cheese recipe! 

KELP NOODLES

Kelp noodles are so delicious, fun, and very low in calories and fat! I recommend the Sea Tangle kelp noodles from Amazon!  I think they are delicious paired with some soy sauce or with the sauce from my Peanut Noodle Salad! Swipe up for the recipe! 

BROWN RICE PASTA

Brown rice pasta is another great, gluten-free alternative!  I recommend Jovial's brown rice pasta I think they are delicious paired with a heavier sauce like alfredo or bolognese! 

SPAGHETTI SQUASH

As far as an unprocessed, natural pasta alternative goes, it doesn't get any better than spaghetti squash! It's gluten-free, lower in calories and fat, and higher in fiber than pasta is I love it paired with heavier sauces! 

LENTIL PASTA

it is quite healthy and  a great choice for those who are looking to increase the amount of fiber they're consuming! I love it paired with heavier sauces or sauces with 'stuff' in it like a bolognese or stroganoff. 

HEARTS OF PALM PASTA

The taste is mild and often briny due to processing, and the texture is solid but delicate, often compared to some seafood. Hearts of palm pasta alternative works very well with creamy sauces, especially those with strong flavors.

SPIRALIZED VEGETABLES

If you want to try "zoodles" (zucchini noodles), I suggest very lightly cooking them, if at all. Zucchini noodles work best with sauces that "hide" the veggies. Again, heavier cream-based or tomato-based sauces work best here.
