Want creamy pasta but don’t want the damn calories❓ I got ya, fam! I saw this recipe on #tiktok and I had to try it… Bruh! I’ve made it twice already! It’s delicious and so easy to make. I made low-cal Gnocchi (as you can see on the pic & vids), and I also made low-cal zucchini noods and they were fantastic! I’ll be trying this recipe soon with fettuccine to whip up a little low-cal fettuccine Alfredo action 🔥
Low-cal Vegan (if you skip the cheese) Creamy Pasta. Serves ✌️
INGREDIENTS:
2 heads of garlic
½ lemon, juice
Salt & Pepper
1-3 tbsp Olive oil
Your choice of pasta, cooked
Bread crumbs (optional)
Fresh herbs, thyme works well (optional)
Parmesan cheese (optional but cheese is life, just sayin’)
PREPARATION:
1️⃣ Cut the top of each head of garlic, wrap individually with foil paper, place in the oven at 400F for 40 minutes. Unwrap and let cool down for a few minutes.
2️⃣ While your garlic is in the oven, cook your pasta and season your breadcrumbs by cooking them on a little bit of olive oil, adding chopped herbs, salt and pepper.
3️⃣ Squeeze garlic into a large bowl, add lemon juice, about 2 tbsp of olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well. Dats it! You got your gorgeous creamy sauce! Mix in pasta and season to taste. Serve on a plate, sprinkle breadcrumbs and parmesan on top.
ENJOY and have fun with it! You can add anything to the sauce, sautéed veggies and meats go very well with this recipe.
