Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and xanthan gum. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 2

Add the eggs and cream cheese to the almond flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a thin sheet using a rolling pin. Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to slice into noodle shapes.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta noodles for 2-3 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 5

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in sharp cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese gradually, whisking continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese sauce, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold the pasta noodles into the cheese sauce until they are well coated.

Step 9

Serve the Keto pasta warm, optionally garnished with additional cheese or herbs as desired.
