Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, sliced Bell pepper, red
- 150 grams Broccoli florets
- 1 medium, sliced Zucchini
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams, grated Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil
Instructions
Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water for about 1-2 minutes and drain well. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sliced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir in the grated Parmesan and cheddar cheeses gradually, ensuring the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Add the rinsed and well-drained shirataki noodles to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly in the cheese sauce.
Allow the noodles to warm through for about 3-5 minutes while stirring gently.
Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped basil.
Serve the pasta hot, and enjoy your low carb creamy cheese and vegetable pasta, garnished with additional basil or grated cheese if desired.
