EDAMAME PASTA
Mild in taste, and high in plant protein and fiber makes me recommend this edamame pasta over regular pasta. After trying making this dish, even my picky husband is ON BOARD and agrees that this dish is flavorful! More importantly, it is low in Carbs, so it’s great if you have diabetes and want to try an alternative to regular pasta.
Keep in mind that Edamame has moderate phosphorus and potassium. Please check serving size and food labels if you are limiting your potassium and phosphorus.

Edamame Pasta Taste and Texture
The edamame spaghetti texture is similar to a whole wheat thin noodle. It has that chewiness you look for in a pasta without any watery, sogginess you find on zucchini noodles or squash noodles. The edamame spaghetti has a delicate, nutty flavor. It goes well with earthy mushroom or peanut sauce.
