Ingredients
- 12 ounces Shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shirataki noodles thoroughly under cool running water for about 2-3 minutes to remove their natural odor. Set aside to drain.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the rinsed and drained shirataki noodles to the dry skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to remove excess water. Transfer the noodles to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces and add it to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the Parmesan cheese has melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the pre-cooked shirataki noodles to the cheese sauce. Gently toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Step 7
Increase the heat to medium and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through, ensuring they are fully covered with the sauce.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
