Ingredients

• 8 ounces Keto-friendly pasta (such as shirataki noodles or zucchini noodles)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 6 cups Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your keto-friendly pasta according to the package instructions. If using shirataki noodles, rinse them under cold water and dry them well; if using zucchini noodles, spiralize them and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 3

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until it wilts down, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the spinach. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and optional red pepper flakes to the simmering cream and spinach. Stir until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated, creating a creamy sauce. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Toss in the prepared keto pasta and gently mix until the noodles are well coated in the creamy spinach sauce.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
