Keto Pasta Noodles Recipe That Takes Just 10 Minutes To Prepare (2024)

This keto pasta tastes identical to regular pasta, but it has just over 3 NET CARBS per serving! And all you need to make these keto noodles is just 2 or 3 ingredients. Plus, along with being low carb pasta, it is also gluten free!

THE BEST KETO PASTA

The first thing that usually gets cut out on a low carb diet is pasta. It's notoriously high in carbs, and well, if you're following the keto diet, that's the complete opposite of the kind of dish you want to make yourself/eat.

Well, today I'll be sharing with you a keto pasta noodle recipe that will open you up to a whole new world of low carb pasta-bilities. So you don't have to miss pasta anymore, and can enjoy it for low carb meals!

These low carb noodles are slightly firm, chewy, springy, and they actually taste quite a bit like "real" pasta - honestly, these keto noodles might taste better.

They do have a slightly cheesy flavor to them, but in my opinion, it's actually quite tasty. And since I'm usually covering my pasta in some low carb sauce, maybe a keto meatball or two, and some cheese anyway, the texture is what I really care about - and it's on point!

Seriously, these keto egg noodles has such an authentic texture and consistency - it's perfectly al dente - that you won't believe that it has just over 3 NET CARBS!

By the way, if you have a gluten intolerance/sensitivity this quick and easy low carb pasta is gluten free too! We won't be using any flour/wheat to make it, so if you're avoiding gluten, this pasta recipe will be perfect for you.

With this keto noodles recipe, you'll never run out of dishes to make for dinner! If you want to make my favorite keto pasta dish, whip up this 5-minute keto alfredo sauce to pair with this recipe.

Also, if you're in the mood for lasagna, this keto lasagna recipe will hit the spot! It's already got a ton of great reviews.

INGREDIENTS FOR KETO PASTA

Want more to love about one of the best keto pasta recipes?

All you need to make it is 2 or 3 ingredients - I promise I'm not lying.

Here is what you need to make these keto pasta noodles:

• 1 cup full fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg yolk
• ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (optional secret ingredient)

Now, you'll notice that the xanthan gum is optional to make your keto noodles.

But I've found it gives the keto noodles the right texture and chewiness that you want from pasta. So, I highly recommend using it for the best quality and most authentic low carb pasta you can make.

And, if you don't have any - xanthan gum that is - I highly recommend picking some up and you can put it to good use by making these keto tortilla shells next!

Also, if you're wondering what to do with that leftover egg white, you can put it to good use and make this keto bread recipe with it. Or you can use it to make these keto egg bites.

And if you have a few extra eggs lying around after making these keto egg noodles, give this keto creme brulee recipe a shot for dessert! You can put them to good use, and make a super tasty dessert in the process.

HOW TO MAKE PASTA KETO FRIENDLY

Now it's the moment you've been waiting for, making this keto noodles recipe.

And don't be intimidated if you've never made pasta from scratch before - the process of making this low carb pasta is quick and easy.

If you follow each step, you'll have some keto pasta noodles that look like they could be served at an authentic Italian restaurant.

Ok, enough talking, let's make some keto pasta!

STEP 1: MAKING THE KETO PASTA DOUGH

First, get out a large microwave safe bowl and add your full fat shredded mozzarella cheese to it.

Then, if you're using my secret ingredient, add in the xanthan gum and work it into the cheese with your teaspoon.

Next, put your bowl in the microwave for about a minute until your cheese melts. Then, quickly use a spatula to mix your melted cheese mixture into a ball.

After that, you can add your last keto pasta ingredient to the bowl, and that you would be your egg yolk. And make sure your cheese is warm but not hot when you add the egg yolk to the bowl - this is because you don't want the yolk to cook when you combine the cheese and egg.

Lastly, use one of your hands to help you fold the cheese into itself, and use a spatula in your other hand to facilitate the combining process - do this until your keto pasta dough is uniformly yellow in color.

STEP 2: ROLLING THE PASTA DOUGH

First, take out two pieces of parchment paper and put your pasta dough between the pieces of parchment paper.

Then roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it's only about an ⅛ of an inch thick. And when I roll out the dough, I try to keep it in as much of a square shape as possible, or at the very least an oval - it will result in the best looking keto noodles.

Next, spray a pizza cutter with some baking spray and then form the pasta dough into noodles by cutting it length-wise. And don't skip out on the baking spray, it's what will keep the pasta dough from sticking to the cutter as you shape it.

Anyway, now that your keto pasta is shaped and formed, add it to a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight, or at the very least, 8 hours.

STEP 3: COOKING THE KETO PASTA

After you refrigerate your keto pasta, you can now separate the strands from one another.

Once all of your keto pasta noodles are separated, fill up a large pot of water and put it on your stovetop to boil.

Then when your water is boiling, add your keto noodles to it, and cook it for just 1 minute for a perfectly al dente noodle. And it cooks quickly, so set a timer on your phone and make sure you don't leave it in water too long.

After a minute is up, strain your keto pasta under water that is not too warm but not too cold, and shake off any excess water that might be on the noodles.

Then add your keto pasta to a plate, put some keto tomato sauce, or some keto alfredo sauce on top, and dig in!

HOW TO STORE KETO PASTA

This keto pasta recipe makes 1 large serving, but if you want to double or triple the recipe you totally can do that. And if you have any leftovers, you can store your keto pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Then to reheat your keto pasta, just microwave it for 30 seconds at a time until warm!
