It shouldn't matter where you live. You obviously have access to a computer. All you have to do is a search on google for protein pasta and you will get a bunch of links. It really isn't that hard.
Here is one of them:

You could call it pasta because it looks and cooks like pasta but is soy based....

So, call it pasta-soy based!

David,
I just had a question about the tuna. You state that you need 12 1/4 oz Chunk light tuna in water drained. So basically that's 3 ounces, right? But the standard little tuna cans are 6 ounces. So should we only use half a can of tuna? Thanks for any feedback...



Posted by: Sacto95827

NM, I got it...12 and 1/4 ounces...duh...



Posted by: david

yep! Sorry I missed this question!
