Pasta de Amêndoas

Pasta de Amêndoas is a deliciously creamy and nutty Brazilian dish made with almond flour, perfect for those following a keto lifestyle. This low-carb pasta is rich in flavor and offers a unique twist to traditional pasta dishes.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh basil, chopped - 1 tablespoon
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Mushrooms, sliced - 100 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms.
2. On a floured surface (using extra almond flour), roll out the dough to about 5 mm thickness and cut into desired pasta shapes.
3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Lower the heat and add heavy cream and chopped basil to the skillet with mushrooms. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy mushroom sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
