Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces keto-friendly pasta (such as shirataki noodles or zucchini noodles)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and prepare your choice of keto-friendly pasta according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until the shallot becomes translucent about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the red pepper flakes and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the paste deepens in color.
Carefully pour in the vodka, stirring constantly to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add your prepared keto pasta to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
