Palmini Linguine Pasta from Hearts of Palm, 12 oz – Non-GMO, Vegan, Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Kosher – Shelf-Stable Single Pouch

I have used the “noodles” for over 3 years as a replacement for pasta. Are they pasta, no. They do however mimic volume and texture in many dishes. I recommend rinsing and depending on the recipe, I will parboil to soften. They absorb sauces and flavors from recipes. Definitely recommend.

I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes so the 1st things I cut out of my diet was pasta and bread. I had a family dinner planned where my grandkids asked for spaghetti but I needed an alternative for myself. Heart of Palm was suggested by a family member so I gave it a try. I did my research and followed online suggestions. I rinsed it thoroughly then boiled it in salted water for 12 minutes, drained the water, added the veggies, Italian sausage and sauce mix. It turned out perfect. That's not in the instructions but their al dente is a little tough and I wanted something a little softer. I liked it much better than the zucchini noodles and simmering it in the sauce allowed the noodles to really soak up the flavor.
