Keto Cacio e Pepe Egg Noodles

Keto Cacio e Pepe Egg Noodles (Beginner-Friendly!)

This Keto Cacio e Pepe with Egg Noodles is a delicious low-carb twist on the classic Italian dish. It’s surprisingly easy to make, even for beginner cooks, and delivers all the rich, cheesy flavor you crave.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
• Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Make the egg noodles: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined.
2. Cook the noodles: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and tilt the pan to spread the eggs into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly wet.
3. Scramble the eggs: Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg towards the center of the pan as you fold uncooked egg from the edges towards the center. Continue cooking and folding the eggs for about 1 minute, or until almost set but still slightly moist.
4. Add flavor: Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the sliced garlic, black pepper, and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. The residual heat from the pan will cook the garlic and melt the cheese, creating a fragrant sauce.
5. Serve and enjoy: Divide the Keto Cacio e Pepe Egg Noodles among plates and garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley (optional). Serve immediately.

Tips:

• For perfectly thin egg noodles, use a whisk to vigorously beat the eggs before cooking.
• If your eggs start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to low.
• Don’t overcook the eggs! They should be slightly moist and tender for the best texture.
• You can adjust the amount of black pepper to your taste preference.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat until warmed through.
