What are the main benefits of Zen Pasta Rigataki Dried Rigatoni 300 g?
Rigataki pasta is an excellent alternative to ordinary pasta made from wheat flour. These special rigatoni:
- are a traditional Japanese dish, made from konjac flour, an Asian plant;
- are rich in fibre: they provide 20 grams of fibre per 100 g serving of rigatoni;
- provide barely 48 kcal per 100 grams, so you can satisfy your "pasta craving" without taking in many calories and with very few carbohydrates, ideal during specific diets;
- are naturally gluten-free, also suitable for coeliacs or people with intolerances.
Ingredients
Rigataki rigatoni are made with remarkable ingredients. These include:
- Konjac flour: konjac pasta provides a good amount of glucomannan. This helps intestinal transit and may reduce the absorption of sugars and fats. It can be helpful in case of constipation and may help support normal cholesterol levels and weight management. It contains no calories and is gluten-free, so it is also ideal for coeliacs;
- Citric acid: rich in antioxidants, it has an antibacterial function and greatly aids the body's absorption of essential minerals such as iron, as well as counteracting the action of free radicals;
- Tapioca starch: a fairly calorie-dense food, providing about 360 calories per 100 g, almost entirely as carbohydrates. It contains vitamins, especially vitamin B2, and minerals including calcium, iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus;
- Gluten-free.
How to use
To cook konjac rigatoni, bring a pan of water to the boil, using more water than you would for normal pasta. Add the desired amount of Zen Pasta and cook for at least 13-15 minutes. This pasta never overcooks and always keeps the same texture, so there is no problem leaving it in the water longer than planned.
Then drain in a colander and rinse well under hot running water: it is important to rinse thoroughly to remove the small amount of sugars used to keep the Zen Pasta pieces compact. The better the rinse, the less sugar residue remains.
Remember that Zen Pasta has a neutral flavour and is not salted, so attention should be paid to the sauce.
Do not consume after the expiry date shown on the pack.
