CINCINNATI - Sept. 16, 2019 - Almond Love With...™ announced today the launch of their revolutionary new product: the world's first low-carb almond flour pasta.
Almond Love With...™ is a low-carb, keto-friendly, high-protein pasta made primarily from California almonds. At 3 net carbs per serving, it has 90% fewer carbs than traditional pasta and 80% fewer carbs than most legume pasta. It is also high in fiber, iron, and has 20 grams of protein per 2oz serving. That's 2.5 times the amount of protein in traditional pasta.
Husband and wife founders Arash Hashemi and Madalina Defta got the idea as they were going through their own weight loss journey. "We both quickly realized how much we missed eating pasta. I've lost more than 100 pounds overall but I always felt pasta was off the table … so one Friday night we rolled up our sleeves and got to work in our home kitchen," says Hashemi. "Our goal – creating a pasta that was low in carbs yet tasted good and was good for you."
The couple spent the next 3 months testing various ingredients, formulations, and pasta shapes at their home in Ohio. "We started by experimenting with just about every star ingredient we could think of, but in the end, Almonds gave us the best nutrition, flavor, and pasta-like consistency," says Defta. The couple then spent another 8 months perfecting the recipe, securing manufacturing, and sourcing quality ingredients. "As a couple we shared a strong commitment to achieving goals through persistence and perseverance. Many people said we couldn't do it and there were many failed attempts as we continued to test, tweak, and taste," added Defta. "We believe these values are what helped us produce not only a better pasta but ultimately a better us!"
Almond Love With is made primarily from California Almonds and has other nutritious ingredients including pea protein and egg whites. "Consumers are demanding more nutritious versions of their favorite foods ... we're starting by making that happen for pasta and expanding from there in 2020," says Hashemi.
The Almond Flour ziti pasta is sold exclusively on AlmondLoveWith.com. The company is hosting daily giveaways on their Instagram page @AlmondLoveWith for the next 21 days.
