Fat Bomb Pasta!
Every once in a while I come up with an idea that I just can’t let go. Megha hates when this happens, because no matter how much resistance she puts up I won’t take no for an answer! This low carb pasta dish has been in my mind for months now and I’ve been patiently waiting for the opportunity to make it. Finally, that opportunity came and I took full advantage of it. This low carb pasta dish is one of my favorite dishes and I even got Megha to admit that it was a really good dish 🙂
Pasta is Back On the Menu
Just about everyone loves pasta, but it happens to be one of the first things you have to write off when starting a ketogenic diet. For the first few months of eating a keto diet we just accepted this fact. As time wore on we started experimenting with different low carb noodles and eventually came up with a good preparation method that makes these noodles yummy! If you’ve tried shirataki noodles before you are probably aware that they smell and taste very similar to an earthworm(not that I’ve ever tasted one). There are steps you can take(which are detailed in the above video) to ensure these puppies come out extra tasty!
The Perfect Low Carb Pasta Sauce
After mastering the zero carb noodle, the rest was easy. Alfredo sauce and it’s variants are perfect for keto! We didn’t go traditional with this Alfredo sauce since we like to give things a spin of our own. We’ve now made this dish with Parmesan, Asiago, and Pecorino Romano cheese and I must say the Pecorino Romano version came out truly exceptional. All of them were good, so if you have one of the other cheeses available then you should definitely use that, but the Pecorino Romano was on point!
Protein Selection
In our quest to make this dish as fatty as possible we opted for a nice Italian sausage here, but anything will work. Meatballs, chicken, really any sort of protein you can think of. Another way you could take this dish is the top it with some extra cheese and bake it in the oven for a nice baked low carb pasta dish. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Low Carb Pasta | Italian Sausage
Ingredients:
- 1 Italian Sausage(optional) You can also use chicken
- 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano cheese(grated)
- 8 oz Shirataki Noodles
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Dried Parsley
- Salt + Pepper
- garlic powder
Instructions:
- Start by drying off the shirataki noodles as thoroughly as possible. First strain out all of the water, then pat dry with a paper towel, finally cook the noodles in a pan for 5-10 minutes to completely dry them. (Drying the noodles out is a key step in getting the sauce to stick to the noodles)
- Cook the Italian sausage on medium heat until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same pan the sausage was cooked in, add cream and butter. Scrape the bottom of the pan to get all of the flavor from the sausage incorporated into the sauce.
- After cream and butter are up to temperature, add the parsley and cheese. Mix thoroughly until cheese is fully melted.
- Add noodle into the sauce and toss to coat.
- Slice sausage and place atop the noodles. Top with additional shaved cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Enjoy!

I love all your recipes!
Will try this with almond flour noodles
I purchased the Shitaki noodles but just can’t get myself to open the bag.. looks disgusting. Have you guys thought about experimenting with making Keto Pasta. I heard of Lupin Semolina product that really works well for keto pasta.
Just tried this and the sauce was deliciousssss but we had to throw it out because the noodles were pure rubber… Not sure if I over dried them or something but we could barely sheet it 🙁
We will make the sauce again but with a different noodle
Really, really good. My first recipe with miracle noodles. I was very worried about flavor but wasn’t a problem. Will make this one again!
One of the best keto pasta dishes I’ve had, amazing
What are your thoughts on using the “Better than pasta” noodles? I have a hard time finding shirataki noodles near me anymore. I have made this type of recipe with the Shirataki Noodles though. I usually use shrimp instead of sausage and I add a little sour cream and cream cheese to my sauce. I use less cheese that way too.
I made this tonight for dinner and LOVED it. Super rich and filling! A great way to get my OMAD in!!!
I am gonna make this, skip the noodles and put the sausage Alfredo sauce on top of your chicken pizza crust!
Can i use shredded parmesan?
Yep!
I tried this. The Romesco cheese MAKES it so definitely buy that, don’t sub it out. It’s amazingly good
I switched this up by doubling the sauce and adding 1/2 of a rotisserie chicken diced and some steamed broccoli — delicious!
Would spaghetti squash be a good fit?
You could try it, just make sure you are aware of the carbs in it.
After rinsing these Miracle Noodles, I always put them in a pot of boiling water for 2 min before towel drying and then pan on the stove drying. it takes any smell away, and totally absorbs the sauce! Made this recipe twice now, first the way it reads, then 2nd time I sauteed some mushrooms in butter and garlic and added it in,both were delish!!! Thanks for posting this!!!
Like someone above said,I really wanted to like this recipe but it didn’t work for me.
I used Miracle noodles and they were chewy.
I never ate squid or octopus but it’s how I imagine it to feel like.
Since you have many other delicious recipes, I’ll stick with them.
Thanks for the showing this to us
Hi! Do the nutritional facts include the sausage or is it just the pasta/sauce? Thank you!
Yes includes everything.
Quick question regarding the noodles. I clicked on the link you provided on the recipe which takes me to Amazon, but the packaging doesn’t look the same as the tofo noodles in your video? Is that still okay?
Yep!
