How to Nail the Perfect Skinny Pasta Bowl

- Rinse Konjac right. Drain and rinse thoroughly for the best texture; a 1–2 minute heat-
through is all you need.
- Sauce smarter. Layer flavour with Skinny Sauces and Fakeaway® jars — low sugar, big
taste.
- Finish like a pro. A sprinkle of hard cheese, fresh herbs or chilli oil takes it from good to
mangia!
