Rigataki: the pasta that contains almost no calories

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I Rigataki are a type of pasta similar to durum wheat rigatoni, both in texture and taste and appearance. However, they have very few calories and are ideal for any type of low-calorie diet. Let’s discover together the qualities of this tasty food.

Rigataki, excellent in any type of diet

Rigataki are mainly composed of vegetable fibres, soy flour, and konjac flour. Konjac is a tuber that grows in Southeast Asia, and glucomannan is extracted from its root. From this, a flour is obtained that contains no calories, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, gluten, or lactose, and no substances that can be absorbed by the body. The Rigataki are therefore a type of pasta ideal for all those dietary regimes where the intake of carbohydrates is discouraged. Furthermore, they are easy to prepare, have an extremely low caloric content, and a high satiety power. Very similar to traditional rigatoni, they offer a texture and taste comparable to that of wholemeal pasta. The Rigataki, containing no sugars or many calories, can be consumed even in generous portions.

Many delicious low-calorie preparations

The Rigataki are sold dehydrated, so 60 grams of this pasta corresponds to 200 grams cooked in water. These, precisely because they are dehydrated, do not emit the typical and somewhat unpleasant smell of konjac pasta sold in packages with water. Cooking this pasta is easy and quick. With a bit of imagination, many good and delicious recipes can be created. The Rigataki indeed pair well with any type of sauce and vegetables. To prepare this type of pasta, simply pour the Rigataki into boiling water and let them cook for at least 13 minutes or more, as they do not overcook, and add the sauce you like best. And remember, we can eat as much pasta as we like, as the Rigataki are extremely low in calories![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row>
