Ingredients
- 400 grams Shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 200 grams Cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the shirataki noodles. Drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water, then boil for 2-3 minutes to remove the characteristic odor. Drain them again and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is warmed through and begins to brown slightly.
Step 4
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring it in with the ham and garlic. Allow the cream to come to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Be sure not to let the sauce come to a boil.
Step 6
Add the drained shirataki noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Season the dish with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your low carb creamy ham pasta!
