Ingredients
- 16 ounces tofu shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu shirataki noodles and rinse them thoroughly under cold water for 2-3 minutes. This helps reduce the natural odor of the noodles.
Step 2
Boil a pot of water and blanch the noodles for 2-3 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the cream cheese and grated Parmesan gradually, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Add the prepared tofu shirataki noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so the noodles can absorb some of the sauce.
Step 7
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
