Shirataki Noodles (Gluten-free)

I've been hearing about Shirataki noodles. Been popular in the East for a while. Now the West can enjoy them. They actually do taste like pasta. I was shocked. If you can ignore the um...unpleasant odor...when you first open the package, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the taste. I liked the "spaghetti" version better than the "linguine". The sauce stuck to it better. Bonus: it's gluten-free. So mangia!

Ingredients:
-1 package Shirataki noodles (2 servings)
-Frozen peppers
-Frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrot combo
-Lucini Hearty Artichoke Tomato sauce (2 servings)
