Low-carb pasta recipe & content provided by Veronica Culver<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Do you find yourself missing some of your favorite Italian pasta dishes because of your keto lifestyle? If so, this low-carb chicken and angel hair pasta in a bright, lemony butter sauce is exactly what you need. And it doesn\u2019t come with any of the addicting starchy carbs, sugar spikes and weight gain that generally accompany traditional grain pastas.<\/p>\n

For this dish, I\u2019ve incorporated one of my favorite low-carb pasta stand-ins, shirataki noodles. They look and taste incredibly similar to traditional pasta, yet they have no carbs, sugar, etc. They do have a distinctive smell when you first open the package and drain them. The odor is completely normal and goes away once prepped. (I\u2019ve included the prep instructions in the recipe below.) Shirataki noodles<\/a> are made from the konjac plant, native to Asia. This plant is comprised of mostly water and a small amount of soluble fiber, making it naturally low-carb and gluten-free.<\/p>\n

The chicken is simply seasoned with Himalayan pink salt, oregano and garlic — a nice complement to the pasta with lemon-butter sauce. Finding good quality chicken that has been raised naturally and free to forage can be challenging. Be sure to look for pasture-raised chicken that has never been given antibiotics or growth hormones.<\/p>\n
