Description
These Keto Cream Cheese Noodles are a creamy, indulgent low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. Made with simple ingredients like cream cheese, butter, and keto-friendly noodles, this dish is perfect for anyone on a keto or low-carb diet looking to satisfy their pasta cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of keto-friendly noodles (e.g., zucchini noodles, shirataki noodles, or palmini noodles)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- If using zucchini noodles, spiralize the zucchini into noodles, and if using shirataki or palmini noodles, rinse and drain them according to package instructions.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese has softened and is combined with the butter.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture over low heat until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add the prepared noodles to the skillet and toss them in the creamy sauce until well-coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the noodles are heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil if desired.
Notes
- You can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or bacon for extra protein.
- For a more “cheesy” flavor, add extra Parmesan cheese or even some shredded mozzarella.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a bit more heavy cream or a splash of chicken broth.
