The long, thin shreds of broccoli blend into a noodle bowl perfectly, adding volume along with calcium, fiber and a slew of healthy vitamins (C, K and A, among others).
Sign me up!
Today’s lunch included a noodle bowl comprised of:
- Carba Nada egg fettuccine pasta
- Eat Smart broccoli slaw
- Sliced Portobello mushrooms
- Marinara meat sauce
This pasta bowl was so good that I think I’ll be making pasta for dinner tonight. A craving has clearly been sparked!

Hello! Where do you purchase the carba nada pasta and what about those delicious bagels that you eat too?

I love broccoli slaw but never though about putting it in pasta. What a great idea! 🙂
Shanna, like Banana says
I LOVE this idea…especially since last week I was touting the wonders of spaghetti squash to get your pasta craving. This is perfect!
Carolyn says
I LOVE broccoli slaw. Its also really good if you add craisins to it and top it with that Asian dressing that you like. YUM. Anyway, I made this :http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/09/thai-peanut-noodles.html , the other night and thought “this is something that Peanut Butter Fingers would enjoy”. I added chicken and lots of broccoli to mine and it was DELICIOUS. My husband and my kids liked it too. Thought you might want to try it.
peanutbutterfingers says
oooh that looks fantastic!
Bee Goes Bananas says
What is broccoli slaw? Is it just shredded broccoli stems, broccoli sprouts…? I’ve never heard of it before, but now that you started mentioning it, I’ve been noticing it in grocery stores. I’ll have to try it sometime!
peanutbutterfingers says
it’s just shredded broccoli. 🙂 most broccoli slaw packets also include shredded carrots & cabbage. it’s delicious!
RunToTheFinish says
love love love the slaw, I buy it to use in all kinds of things! It’s a really easy way to add some veggies!
Vikki says
Broccoli slaw is a favorite of mine, but the dish you made with pasta- is it supposed to be hot or cold? It might be a crazy question, just wondering.
peanutbutterfingers says
i actually served it cold, but the heat from the pasta & marinara sauce warmed it up!
Heidi says
I think broccoli slaw can sometimes be a little bland in salads, but I also haven’t had it in a looong time. Thanks for the new suggestion though, I’ll def need to give this one a try.
missymiller says
Oh..broccolli slaw…how do I love thee?
I recently used the leftover bits of a bag to pop in the processor for a veggie hummus. So quick.
Thanks for the tip – never tried em in pasta.
