Ciao Carb Maccarozone Stage 3, Sedani 50g - Italian low carbohydrate pasta low GI, 33g protein

The Ciao Carb MaccaroZone product line was created for people who want to incorporate more protein into their diet, eliminate a significant portion of carbohydrates and at the same time reduce the caloric content of their meals while preserving their taste. This is how Ciao Carb MaccaroZone was created - low-calorie, low-carbohydrate pasta with increased protein and fiber content.

Ciao Carb MaccaroZone - Italian pasta with sporty DNA

It looks like a classic pasta, smells like a classic pasta, but... a carbohydrate pasta is in name only. Ciao Carb MaccaroZone are hand-formed tubes from Abruzzo, in which traditional durra semolina is supplemented with a blend of wheat protein, pea protein and acacia fiber. The result? Each 100 grams provides as much as 33 grams of protein and 33 grams of fiber - twice as much as a typical chicken fillet and six times as much as regular pasta! At the same time, there are only 26 g of carbohydrates, more than half as much as in a classic pasta.

This unusual macro balance makes MaccaroZone satiating for a long time, stabilizes glucose levels and fits well into low-carbohydrate, reduction and high-protein diets. The long, 14-minute cooking time allows the starchy grains to slowly absorb water - once drained, you get flexible, al dente tubes that perfectly grip the sauce: from classic pomodoro to creamy chicken with pesto.

Ciao Carb doesn't take any shortcuts: the pasta is made in Italy - a country where pasta is a religion - so it retains the true durum flavor and springiness that many "fit" substitutes lack. All it takes is San Marzano tomatoes, a touch of basil and extra-virgin olive oil to discover how light Italian comfort-food can be.

Why is it worth having MaccaroZone in your pantry?

• 33 g protein / 33 g fiber in 100 g - you build muscle and take care of satiety with one dish.
• 50% less carbohydrates than regular pasta - friendly to low-carb plans and diabetics.
• Italian quality: semolina durra + traditional slow drying → perfect al dente.
• Neutral flavor - goes well with tomato sauces, cream sauces and Asian stir-fry.
• Simple cooking time - 14 min in salted water; no thawing, no sticking.

If you need a pasta that won't derail your macro, yet doesn't force you to compromise on flavor, Ciao Carb MaccaroZone is your new Italian ally on the plate. Buon appetito - no remorse.

Sedani is a cousin of penne and rigatoni - a simple, fairly wide tube with characteristic grooves (rigate) running along the entire surface. Thanks to this structure, it works well in three situations in particular:

• Thick, meaty sauces - ragù bolognese, sugo with sausage or game, chilli con carne in the "pasta" version. Grooves hold pieces of meat and vegetables, while the wide opening allows the sauce to hide inside the tube. Each bite is filled with stuffing, not just coated with sauce on the outside.
• Casseroles and oven dishes - sedani, although thinner than rigatoni, remains al dente even after 20-30 minutes at 180 °C. So it's suitable for classic pasta al forno, mac & cheese with an Italian twist or a casserole with béchamel, mozzarella and eggplant.
• Creamy or cheesy sauces - smooth, thick dressings based on cream, mascarpone, pesto or four cheeses easily penetrate the center of the tubes, while grooves stabilize them on the outer surface. That's why sedani plays well with carbonara, a sauce with gorgonzola and nuts, or pumpkin cream with Parmesan cheese.

Its size and shape also make it stand up well to a quick "one-pot" stew with chicken, zucchini or shrimp: just toss the raw pasta into a pot of stock and sauce, and after several minutes you get a uniform, creamy dish without additional straining. Sedani is thus a versatile pasta, but it shines most where you need to solidly "lift" an intense sauce or bake the whole thing in a flavorful cheese shell
