Keto Pasta
Thank you so much to KetoConnect for this recipe. So, yes, we encourage low-carb eaters to try Zucchini noodles for pasta, but let’s be real, it’s just not the same. Thank goodness there is a way to make everything low carb nowadays. Now you don’t have to pass up pasta night! No special equipment needed. The sheet of noodles is cut with a simple pizza cutter.
What You Need:
▢Rolling Pin
▢Baking Paper/ Parchment Paper
Pizza cutter
Ingredients:
▢1 Cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (112g)
▢1 Large Egg Yolk (18g)
▢2 tsp Gelatin Powder (6g)
▢1 tbsp Water (15ml)
Instructions:
In a small bowl add the gelatin powder and water. Whisk then let it sit to absorb. It will be very thick.
Using a microwave-safe bowl, add the cheese, and microwave for 20-30 seconds until all the cheese is melted. Whisk the melted cheese to make sure that there are no solid cheese pieces, then quickly add in the egg yolk and whisk until the mixture is homogenous. Careful not to cook the egg yolk.
Next microwave the bowl with the gelatin in 10 seconds interval until all the gelatin granules are dissolved, usually, 20 seconds total.
Once the gelatin mixture is ready, pour it over the cheese mixture and whisk quickly until it's properly combined. The mixture will start looking like a soft dough. (If the cheese mixture has cooled, microwave it for 10 seconds before you add the gelatin.)
Transfer the cheese mixture onto one side of a greased sheet of baking paper. Fold it over, and gently start pressing over the baking paper to spread the dough evenly.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough between the baking paper sheets into a 1/4 inch thick dough. Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
Take the rolled-out dough out of the fridge. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into noodles of your desired width. You could do fettuccini, linguini, spaghetti, etc..
To serve, toss it in your hot/warm sauce of choice, the pasta will immediately heat up and come up to the temperature of the sauce.*
DO NOT BOIL NOODLES! If you need to heat them up, place them in a microwave with a little water or your favorite sauce.
