Cree Maple Syrup Fettuccine

Cree Maple Syrup Fettuccine combines the traditional flavors of the American wilderness with a healthy Paleo twist. This dish features homemade fettuccine made from almond flour, lightly coated in a rich maple syrup sauce, creating a delightful balance of sweet and savory.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Eggs - 2 large
• Himalayan salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Maple syrup - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh sage - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish) - 2 tablespoons, grated

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and Himalayan salt, then create a well in the center.
2. Add the eggs and olive oil into the well and mix until a dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
3. Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until smooth, then wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick, then cut into fettuccine strips.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
6. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Stir in the maple syrup and chopped sage, cooking for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
8. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat in the maple sauce. Season with black pepper to taste.
9. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
