Ingredients
- 16 oz Shirataki noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 oz Canned tuna, drained
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Spinach, fresh
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shirataki noodles thoroughly under cold water for a few minutes to remove any residual odor, then drain well.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the drained tuna to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 5
Place the shirataki noodles into the skillet and toss them in the creamy sauce until well coated.
Step 6
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 8
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
