Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 200 grams Cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the shirataki noodles. Drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water, then boil for 2-3 minutes to remove the characteristic odor. Drain them again and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is warmed through and begins to brown slightly.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring it in with the ham and garlic. Allow the cream to come to a gentle simmer.
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Be sure not to let the sauce come to a boil.
Add the drained shirataki noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce to ensure they are evenly coated.
Season the dish with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low carb creamy ham pasta!
