Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and xanthan gum. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Add the eggs and cream cheese to the almond flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a thin sheet using a rolling pin. Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to slice into noodle shapes.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta noodles for 2-3 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in sharp cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese gradually, whisking continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese sauce, stirring to combine.
Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold the pasta noodles into the cheese sauce until they are well coated.
Serve the Keto pasta warm, optionally garnished with additional cheese or herbs as desired.
