Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Keto penne pasta (made from konjac root)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Rinse the keto penne pasta under cold water in a colander for about 2 minutes to remove any odor from the konjac root.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the rinsed pasta for about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the cooked keto penne pasta to the skillet, gently tossing it in the Alfredo sauce until completely coated and heated through.
Serve the keto penne pasta hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
