Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packs (7 ounces each) shirataki noodles
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water for 2-3 minutes to remove their natural smell. Drain and set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain them and set aside.
In a medium-sized pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Transfer the cooked broccoli, sautéed garlic, almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
In the same pan used for the garlic, add the drained shirataki noodles. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to dry out the noodles slightly and warm them through.
Pour the broccoli sauce over the noodles in the pan. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. If desired, add red pepper flakes for some spice.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated parmesan cheese (optional) for extra flavor. Enjoy your healthy shirataki noodles with broccoli sauce!
