Low carb spaghetti Bolognese
UK start-up SRSLY Low Carb is adding a vegan Spaghetti Bolognese to its meal range. Compared to the conventional Italian classic, SRSLY Low Carb’s version contains just 17.9g of carbs instead of 50-60g.
How has the start-up achieved this? With konjac noodles – made from the root of the konjac yam plant. Konjac is both low calorie and gluten-free.
“Everyone accepts that today ready meals are a mainstay of today’s hectic life schedules,” explained, SRSLY founder, Andy Welch.
“We saw another well-timed opportunity for konjac-based noodles with their impressive low glycaemic index to come to the fore and displace wheat-based spaghetti that is awash with needless carbs and calories. We believe that great food comes in many guises, including a thoughtfully balanced ready meal, which if well executed can offer quick turnaround sustenance and a masterclass in mindful eating versus lazy calories and unwelcome meal guilt.”
Welch continued: “Nothing stands still in today’s constantly evolving food theatre,’ concludes Andy, ‘I mean swapping out spaghetti is hardly a big deal because even in traditional Italian cuisine it had no real relevance because tagliatelle was the authentic pasta of choice.”
A 370g serving of SRSLY Low Carb’s Spaghetti Bolognese product has an RRP of £5.99.
