Taste gets 5 stars. LOW CARB claim gets zero. Research shows Dreamfield's pasta, will raise blood glucose the same as regular. I recommend, as does my physician, small amounts of whole wheat pasta. Fiber incorporated into the mix helps. ( small amounts only) and NEVER white pasta. Do your research online about the effects of Dreamfield's. If you are diabetic.. stay away!

As another reviewer said, this make a lot. I too made a half amount and there is very easily enough for 4. I used 1 whole egg, added salt and pepper, skipped the cukes (not a fan) and used some mixed herbs in place of the dill. It came out to be a hit here and is much healthier than the usual mac salad. I'm sure that I'll be using this throughout the summer.

Loved it!! made a very nice side to go with my snapper and mushrooms. I just make a half a recipe, it sure made a lot, at least enough for 4, so the whole recipe should probably be for 8!! I did add a little salt and pepper and had to use dried sill. Used fat free mayo. We don't care for egg in salad so I sliced them and put them on top, and sorry left the yokes in. Enjoyed every crunchy mouthful, thanks for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My rating system:
5 stars: Everyone loved it, no exceptions. A recipe that is unique and impressive, that I would serve at a dinner party with no substitutions.
4 stars: Everyone loved it, no exceptions. A solid recipe that is not really unique or impressive, but one that I will make often with little, if any substitution.
3 stars: Some people liked it, some didn't. A solid base recipe that I will make again, but I will probably experiment a little to see if I can improve it.
2 stars: OK, but nobody really liked it-people nibbled at it and the leftovers went uneaten.
1 star: This dish was thrown away uneaten, and it's not worth trying to "fix".
