Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 1 package of keto-friendly noodles (e.g., zucchini noodles, shirataki noodles, or palmini noodles)
Sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: If using zucchini noodles, spiralize the zucchini into noodles. For shirataki or palmini noodles, rinse and drain thoroughly according to package instructions to remove any excess moisture or odor.
- Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat to create the base for the creamy sauce.
- Soften Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens fully and combines smoothly with the melted butter.
- Add Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking over low heat until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and well blended.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the prepared noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently in the creamy sauce to ensure they are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and plate the noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired, and serve hot for a delicious keto meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the noodles with any low-carb alternative such as konjac or spaghetti squash for variety.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more garlic or onion powder if desired.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and butter substitutes.
- Make sure to drain shirataki noodles well to avoid excess liquid in the dish.
- Adding cooked chicken or shrimp can enhance the protein content if preferred.
