INTRODUCTION
From noodle stir-fries to spaghetti and lasagna, pasta has become a
staple of our every day diet. And variations of pasta exist in pretty
much every cuisine!

That’s why this cookbook is filled with recipes from around the world…
you’ll get to experience your traditional Italian staples as well as
Asian must-eats and even some American favorites!

One of the best things about pasta is just how many variations you
can create from it! So we’ve designed this cookbook to be mix-and-
match friendly!

Pick a type of pasta, pick a sauce, and then add in your meats/
cheese. And we included a Dairy-Free Cheeses chapter so you can
also add in a dairy-free cheese if you are sticking to dairy-free Keto.

But if you prefer to start with some tried and tested favorites, then we
have those as well! We’ve even included an almond pasta dough
recipe so you can create dishes like ravioli that look just like the real
thing. Best of all, for many of them you can substitute in a different
noodle type if you prefer.

Our Basic Pasta Types section covers all the different types of Keto
pasta in a lot of detail so you know how to make them as well as how
to use them in dishes. So have a read through that chapter first before
anything else!

BASIC PASTA
Types

Zucchini “Noodles” (Spaghetti


and Sheet)

What are they?


Zucchini noodles are exactly what it sounds like – zucchini made into noodle shapes.

How to prepare?
Usually a spiralizer is used to create long spaghetti-like strands from the zucchini or the
zucchini is sliced into long strands to use as sheet pasta. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you
can use a potato peeler to create fettuccine-like long strands or a shredding attachment in
a food processor to create short, thin strands.

Some stores also sell pre-spiralized zucchini noodles for use in dishes.

Best used in:


Because zucchinis are less watery than vegetables like cucumber and have a whitish color
to them, they are often used where spaghetti would be used. They are very versatile and
can be used in soups and stir-fries as well because they absorb flavors well.

Zucchini sliced into thin slices lengthwise can be used as sheet pasta similar to eggplant
slices (e.g., in lasagna).

Spaghetti Squash

What are they?


Spaghetti squash is a winter squash with a yellow melon-like exterior shape. Spaghetti
squash naturally forms thin spaghetti-like strands when cooked, hence the name.

How to prepare?
The other skin of the spaghetti squash is very hard, so be careful when cutting it open.
Once you’ve cut it in half, remove the seeds (which you can also cook to make a simple
snack), and then cover the inside of the squash with coconut, olive, or avocado oil to keep
it moist. Then you have 2 easy ways to cook the squash: 1) microwave or 2) bake in the
oven.

MICROWAVE METHOD:
1. Place each half on a microwaveable tray, cover with a paper towel, and microwave
for 5 minutes on high.
2. Check how tender the squash is after 5 minutes and microwave for 1 to 2 extra
minutes if not soft to the touch. Add more time if needed, but check every 1 to 2
minutes to prevent over cooking.
3. Cool for 5 minutes and use a fork to pull out the “spaghetti” strands.

OVEN BAKED METHOD:


1. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
2. Place both squash halves face down in a baking tray and place the baking tray into
the oven.
3. Bake for 45 minutes.
4. Cool for 5 minutes and use a fork to pull out the “spaghetti” strands.

Best used in:


Because the squash strands look in color and texture very similar to spaghetti, it’s best
used in dishes to replace traditional spaghetti (e.g., spaghetti and meatballs, spaghetti
Bolognese).

they are used:

Kelp Noodles

What are they?


Kelp noodles are made from a type of seaweed called kelp. To make them, the outer green
layer of the seaweed that we’re used to is removed and the inner clear layer is dried and
then reshaped into long noodle strands.

Many health food stores as well as online stores sell prepackaged Kelp Noodles in packs of
12oz. These noodles are stored in a brine to keep them moist.

How to prepare?
Drain the noodles and then rinse in cold water. Use scissors to cut them into shorter
strands, if desired.

You can then use them raw or add them to soups, stews, and stir-fries.

If you prefer a softer texture to these noodles, then soak the noodles in a bowl of hot water
with 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) of lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon (12 g) of baking soda for 5 to
10 minutes until softened to your liking.

Best used in:


Kelp noodles are naturally pretty crispy – they’re not soft rice noodles. So they’re best
used in salads, soups, and stir-fries.

they are used:

Shirataki Noodles

What are they?


These thin and translucent noodles are a staple of traditional Japanese cuisine. They’re
made from the root of the konjac plant (also known as devil’s tongue yam or elephant
yam).

You can find prepackaged shirataki noodles in many health food stores or online, and they
often come in 7 to 8 oz (200 to 227 g) packs with brine in them to keep the noodles “wet.”

You’ll find that the liquid they come in has a strong and distinctly fishy aroma, so be sure
to rinse them well before using them.

How to prepare?
Because shirataki noodles have a fishy aroma, it’s important to rinse them well before
using. First drain the liquid from the package and rinse for a few minutes. Then place
into a pot with water and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. You can then use the noodles or pan-fry
them (without oil or liquids) first to create a crispier and more noodle-like texture.

Best used in:


Because shirataki noodles have a strong aroma naturally, they are best used in dishes
where the sauce flavor is strong (e.g., stir-fries).

However, because you can find shirataki noodles in many shapes (e.g., angel hair,
fettuccini, ziti), they can be used in a variety of dishes instead of regular noodles.

they are used:

Eggplant Sheet “Pasta”

What are they?


Eggplant noodles are thin slices of eggplant sliced lengthwise. Eggplants are big and
round and therefore can be shaped to look like sheet pasta.

How to prepare?
Cut off both ends of the eggplant. Then use a sharp knife to carefully cut thin slices
lengthwise (see photograph).

Rub fine salt across the eggplant slices and place on paper towels to draw moisture out.
Pat dry before using.

Best used in:


Because of the sheet like shape of eggplant pasta, they’re best used in dishes like lasagna
and casseroles or to act like a tortillas in baked dishes like enchiladas.

they are used:
Eggplant Moussaka
Spinach “Ricotta” Lasagna Rolls

18

Cucumber “Noodles”

What are they?


Cucumber noodles are strips of raw cucumber made into noodle shapes.

How to prepare?
You can use a potato peeler to create long strands of cucumber noodles (like a tagliatelle).
Or you can use the shredding attachment to a food processor to create short thin strips.

For consistent color in your dish, we suggest you peel your cucumber first before creating
the noodles. However, this is optional as the peel can be eaten and unless it’s very thick, it
usually doesn’t affect the flavor or texture of the dish much.

Best used in:


Because cucumbers are fairly watery and soft already, they’re best used in salads or mixed
with a sauce once the sauce has cooled a little. They will water down your sauce flavors a
bit because of the cucumber’s watery nature.

Almond Flour Pasta


Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS:
• 2 cups (240 g) almond flour
• 2 eggs, lightly whisked
• 2 teaspoon (4 g) xanthan gum
• 1 Tablespoon (8 g) nutritional yeast (optional)
• 1 teaspoon (5 g) salt

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the dough -


1. Combine all the ingredients to form a slightly sticky dough that holds together well. If
the dough is too dry, add a 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of water.
2. Divide the dough into about 8 small portions (approx. 2 golf-balls or one baseball in
size). Place each portion of dough between two pieces of parchment paper and use
a rolling pin to roll into a thin, flat sheet. The dough should be as thin as you can roll it,
but you should be able to pick it up without the dough breaking.
3. Form into desired pasta shapes. The dough works best as best as pappardelle (large
flat noodles), sheet pasta or ravioli sheets, or other small pasta shapes.

To cook the pasta -


1. To cook the pappardelle or small pasta shapes, add olive oil to a skillet over medium
heat and saute the pasta for 10 seconds on each side until golden.
2. For ravioli, place a small amount of cooked filling on one ravioli sheet. Place another
ravioli sheet on top and seal tightly. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat and
saute the ravioli for 10 seconds on each side until golden.
3. For sheet pasta to use in lasagna, assemble the lasagna as you normally would with
the uncooked sheet pasta. There is no need to saute or boil the pasta before adding it
to the lasagna.
