Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Low carb pasta (such as konjac noodles or zucchini noodles)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Large egg
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using konjac noodles, rinse them thoroughly under cold water. If using zucchini noodles, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the low-carb pasta alternative for about 3-4 minutes to remove excess water.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, and salt.
Add the sautéed pasta to the mixing bowl and toss gently to coat it evenly.
Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the top of the pasta mixture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional herbs if desired, and serve warm.
