Learn how to make delicious pasta recipe keto. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
Creating a delicious keto pasta starts with the right ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups of almond flour
- 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of marinara sauce (look for no sugar added)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Feel free to make substitutions where needed—coconut flour can be used in place of almond flour, but you’ll need to adjust the quantity as it absorbs more liquid. This flexibility is key in making this dish work for any pantry.
Instructions
Let’s walk through the steps to bring this keto pasta to life:
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway, until melted and well-combined.
- Add the almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- On a clean surface, knead the dough until smooth, then roll it out into thin sheets.
- Using a sharp knife or pasta cutter, slice the dough into thin strips resembling fettuccine.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then gently add the pasta strips. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the top.
- In a separate pan, heat the marinara sauce and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Drain the pasta and toss it with the creamy marinara sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
Each step is designed to ensure you achieve the perfect texture and flavor balance, much like the early days of my culinary explorations in college.
