Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Psyllium husk - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Canned diced tomatoes - 400 grams
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, salt, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth. Divide into small noodle-like shapes resembling spaghetti.
3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and gently drop in the almond flour noodles. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until they float. Drain and set aside.
4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent.
