Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, and psyllium husk powder. Whisk to mix evenly and set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until fully melted and smooth. Stir well.

Step 3

Let the cheese mixture cool slightly, then add in the egg. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

To the cheese and egg mixture, add the dry ingredients from the first step: almond flour mixture, xanthan gum, and sea salt.

Step 5

Stir the dough until it thickens and comes together, then knead it by hand until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of almond flour.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1 inch in diameter, then cut each rope into bite-sized pieces to form your dumplings.

Step 7

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add olive oil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water one by one. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them once done.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite low-carb sauce or in a comforting broth. Enjoy your low-carb pasta dumplings!
