Notes

  1. Almond Flour Consistency: The texture and moisture content of almond flour can vary between brands. Adjust the dough consistency as needed by adding a little more almond flour if the dough is too sticky or a splash of water if it's too dry.
  2. Psyllium Husk Absorption: Psyllium husk powder absorbs moisture, helping to bind the dough. Let the dough rest for a few minutes after mixing to allow the psyllium husk to fully hydrate and create a pliable dough.
  3. Egg Size: Use large eggs as specified in the recipe. Smaller eggs may result in a drier dough, while larger eggs can make the dough too wet.
  4. Kneading Time: Proper kneading is crucial to develop the gluten-like structure in the dough, especially since almond flour lacks gluten. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Rolling Thickness: Roll out the dough to a consistent thickness for even cooking. Too thin, and the noodles may become too delicate; too thick, and they may be too doughy.
  6. Cooking Time: Whether boiling or sautéing the noodles, keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking. Keto Pasta noodles cook faster than traditional pasta and can become mushy if cooked for too long.
  7. Serving Suggestions: Keto Pasta Noodles pair well with a variety of Keto-friendly sauces such as marinara made with low-carb ingredients, creamy Alfredo sauce, or a pesto sauce. Experiment with different sauces and toppings to create your favorite Keto pasta dishes.
  8. Storage: Store any leftover cooked Keto Pasta Noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days. Reheat gently to maintain the texture.
  9. Nutritional Values: The provided calorie estimate is based on the ingredients used in the basic recipe. Calculate the exact nutritional values based on the specific brands and measurements you use, especially if you're tracking macros for a Keto diet.
  10. Experiment and Enjoy: Don't be afraid to customize this recipe to suit your preferences. Add herbs, spices, or cheese to the dough for extra flavor, or incorporate vegetables or protein into your sauce for a complete meal.
