Description

Delight in this creamy and comforting Keto Cream Cheese Noodles recipe that perfectly blends low-carb noodles with a rich, cheesy sauce. Made with cream cheese, butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan, this quick and easy dish is ideal for a satisfying keto-friendly meal ready in just 15 minutes.


Ingredients

Noodles

  • 1 package of keto-friendly noodles (e.g., zucchini noodles, shirataki noodles, or palmini noodles)

Sauce

  • 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

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles: If using zucchini noodles, spiralize the zucchini into noodles. For shirataki or palmini noodles, rinse and drain them according to the package instructions to remove excess liquid and odor.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquid and slightly bubbling.
  3. Combine Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet and cook while stirring occasionally until the cream cheese softens and blends smoothly with the butter, creating a creamy base.
  4. Add Cream and Seasonings: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  5. Incorporate Noodles: Add the prepared noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly in the creamy sauce ensuring each noodle is well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to heat through and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the creamy keto noodles hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil if desired for a fresh herbal touch.

Notes

  • Choose noodles that fit your keto lifestyle; zucchini and shirataki noodles are excellent low-carb options.
  • Softening cream cheese before adding helps it melt evenly and prevents lumps.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the creamy texture.
  • For added protein, consider topping with grilled chicken or cooked shrimp.
