Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces tofu shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Drain the tofu shirataki noodles and rinse them thoroughly under cold water for 2-3 minutes. This helps reduce the natural odor of the noodles.
Boil a pot of water and blanch the noodles for 2-3 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the cream cheese and grated Parmesan gradually, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the prepared tofu shirataki noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so the noodles can absorb some of the sauce.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
