In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the cream cheese and olive oil to the eggs, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to form a dough. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes to let the xanthan gum activate and make the dough easier to handle.
After resting, divide the dough into four equal parts. Lightly dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with almond flour.
Roll each piece of dough out into a thin sheet, aiming for your desired pasta thickness. Use a sharp knife or a pasta cutter to slice the dough into your preferred pasta shape, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Gently drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pasta starts to float and is tender to your preference.
Drain the pasta and rinse quickly under cold water to stop further cooking. Serve immediately with your choice of keto-friendly sauce or toppings.
