With a low glycemic index and high protein, this wheat-free, gluten-free "pasta" from Nutriton Kitchen is a healthy carb option that’s tasty, satisfying and cooks up quickly (5 minutes!)  The texture is a little chewier (in a rubbery but not unpleasant kind of way) than semolina pastas, and it won’t replace a perfect penne. But I’d still like it even if it weren’t so good for me.  Available in golden, green and black varieties at many health food stores, or order a
