Couldn't say, never had seaweed. I'm intrigued now as to what it's like x

Very high in iodine. Don't want to over load the thyroid

I cannot imagine anything being a substitute for pasta, seaweed has iodine in it so I think you would have to bomb it up with garlic to take the taste away.

I have given pasta away, we just make the bolognaise sauce thicker and put mashed up jaradale pumpkin on top then brown it off in the oven. So a mix between spag bol and shepherds pie.

never tried it sorry, I have been recommended the pasta made from peas though.

I tried the mung bean pasta and did not like it. It has the texture of wet shredded cardboard.

I've eaten seaweed on few occasions..
To be quite frank? I've never known how to bolts for it. Sort of treating it like broccoli? Lol, wheather that's right or wrong!?!

I ruddy enjoyed it though!

Hi @ freema
Have you tried the konjac noodles instead of pasta? Or spiralised courgette or squash? They are the nearest replacements I have found. I think konjac are more rubbery but bearable. You need to find de the liquid off really well though

I make courgetti and use it instead for spaghetti Bol and just very finely sliced courgettes instead of lasagna sheets. Really tasty.
