Almond Flour Keto Noodles

These almond flour noodles are a fantastic alternative to traditional pasta. They're simple to make and will satisfy your craving for noodles while keeping you in line with your keto lifestyle.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for added elasticity)

Cooking Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, garlic powder (if using), and xanthan gum (if using).
2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil (or melted butter).
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
4. Once the dough is ready, place it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut it into your desired noodle shapes (fettuccine, spaghetti, etc.).
5. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the top and reach your desired tenderness.
6. Drain the noodles and toss them in a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Serve with your favorite keto sauce or toppings.

Flavor Profile: These almond flour noodles are nutty and slightly chewy, offering a great base for any sauce or toppings. The added garlic powder gives a hint of savory flavor that enhances the overall dish.
