I’ve been dying to try shirataki noodles! This is a perfect recipe for them!
Thank you! Let me know what you think!
You have completely sold me! I’m purchasing these noodles ASAP. Can’t wait to test the recipe.
Awesome! I’d love your feedback!
I didn’t even know these noodles came in fettuccine style. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!
I love pasta and would love to try this recipe since it is healthy!!
Fantastic! Try it and please let me know what you think!
I recently gave Miracle Noodles a try and they are a nice low carb pasta substitute. Will have to try with this sauce soon, looks delicious!
This alfredo dish looks so good! I can’t believe that it’s keto! wow!
Excellent! Doubled the recipe. We all loved it. I did make a few changes, ie I added a tsp of lemon zest to the sauce, and added a 1/2-cup peas and 3 strips of cooked, crumbled turkey bacon in with the noodles. The onion is a must in my book, and my family did not like the parsley; we agreed that minced basil would be better. I used Well Lean Shirataki fettucine noodles, which don’t have the fishy smell or chewiness of most brands. Couldn’t tell them apart from regular noodles with the sauce on them. Great recipe! Add the bacon and peas for authenticity and flavor.
Kathy! Wow! Your additions sound fantastic! I love lemon zest in pasta! I will also check out the Well Lean brand! Thanks so much for your comment!
