This recipe swaps traditional pasta for shirataki noodles, a keto-friendly alternative, while retaining all the rich, bold flavors you crave. The silky vodka sauce is crafted from a blend of unsweetened tomato puree, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and a splash of vodka for depth, with garlic and crushed red pepper flakes adding aromatic flair. Prepared in under 35 minutes, this dish is as quick as it is satisfying, making it ideal for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Garnished with fresh basil for a herby finish, this pasta is a celebration of creamy comfort without the carbs.
Prepare the shirataki noodles as per the package instructions. Drain, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the crushed red pepper flakes and vodka to the skillet. Let the vodka cook off for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the unsweetened tomato puree. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the prepared shirataki noodles to the sauce, stirring until well coated and heated through.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook on low heat until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving and enjoy your Keto Pasta with Vodka Sauce!
