Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Low-carb pasta (such as shirataki or zucchini noodles)
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Truffle oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the low-carb pasta according to the package instructions. If using shirataki noodles, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and boil for 2-3 minutes to remove any briny odor. Drain well and set aside. For zucchini noodles, spiralize fresh zucchini and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Lower the heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine with the garlic and let it gently simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Stir in the truffle oil, salt, and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed.
Add the prepared low-carb pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly in the creamy truffle sauce. Let it heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent, low-carb truffle pasta!
