Pasta and rice substitutes for keto diet

As a keto dieter, you understand pasta and rice are too rich in carbs to be included in your diet.  However, it’s only natural to crave Bolognese pasta or even a nice risotto to enjoy with your friends and family.  Well, the good news is that you can still opt for keto friendly alternatives. Here are some examples:

  1. Palmini heart spaghetti is a pasta substitute made from hearts of palm.  With only 4 grams of carbs per 100grams, you can enjoy It with your favorite pasta sauce.
  2. Cauliflower rice is a nice option for a risotto or an Asian/Indian dish.  All you need is to pulse fresh cauliflower chunks in a food processor until you obtain tiny bits.
  3. Konjac noodle/rice is ideal if you’re in the rush, and the best part is that they have no carbs.  Konjac pasta has no taste, you can cook them with sauce to easily achieve the desired flavor.
