Why this?
This keto-friendly vegetarian pasta creatively uses shirataki noodles to keep carbs low while delivering a rich, creamy texture through a blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses combined with fresh spinach. It’s a comforting dinner option that balances indulgence and health, perfect for those following a ketogenic lifestyle without sacrificing flavor or the feel of a traditional pasta dish.

Ingredients:

Preparation Steps:

• Rinse and drain the shirataki noodles thoroughly to reduce their natural odor, then set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, then stir in ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and heavy cream. Mix well until the cheeses melt and combine into a creamy sauce.
• Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if using. Stir to combine.
• Add the drained shirataki noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the creamy spinach cheese sauce.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir gently until incorporated and warmed through.
• Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
