Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Start by preparing the shirataki noodles according to package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing them under cold water for a few minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring the mixture until well combined.
Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper according to taste.
Add the prepared shirataki noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce until fully coated and warmed through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
