Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Keto-friendly pasta (such as shirataki noodles or zucchini noodles)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the keto-friendly pasta according to package instructions. For shirataki noodles, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and then boil for 2-3 minutes. If using zucchini noodles, set aside for now as they don't require pre-cooking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to let it burn.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the frozen peas to the sauce. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the peas to cook and the sauce to thicken.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the prepared keto pasta to the skillet (if using zucchini noodles, add them directly to the sauce). Toss to combine all the ingredients and coat the pasta with the sauce.
Allow the pasta to heat through for about 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the pasta hot and enjoy your delightful keto meal!
