Content: hearts of palm. You may or may not have seen hearts of palm pasta brands cropping up on grocery store shelves recently, but the truth is that chefs have used canned hearts of palm as a pasta substitute for years — and they’re way easier to find at the grocery store! This Hearts of Palm Parm recipe from Food Network Kitchen, for example, was adapted from an episode of Chopped. Unlike zoodles, hearts of palm have a mildly tangy flavor (similar to brined artichoke hearts) that’s savory and really enhances many sauces you add to it. Each heart of palm resembles a satisfying, plump and al dente piece of pene pasta (minus the hole, of course). A single 14 ounce can contains just 7 carbohydrates and would probably feed a couple people. All you pretty much have to do is dump it into a skillet with your favorite sauce, warm it up and serve. One of the best parts? It’s just as cheap as pasta (just about $2). Below — step-by-step instructions.
