Ingredients:
  • 200 g keto flour
  • 80 g (2 large) eggs, whole
  • 50 g (3 large) eggs, yolk
  • 3 g (1/2 tsp) salt

Directions:
  1. Pour keto flour into a mound, and create a well in the center.
  2. With a fork, lightly whisk eggs, and add to the center well.
  3. Gently swirl the eggs and slowly combine with the surrounding flour.
  4. Continue combining the eggs and flour; use a bench scraper to help gather the dough.
  5. Gently knead the dough until it comes together to a ball.
  6. Wrap in plastic, and let rest 15 min.
  7. Divide into 8 pieces, and run through a pasta machine (I went to 5-6 thickness). You may need to use extra flour if the dough becomes too sticky.
  8. Bring water to boil, and season with handfuls of salt (salty as the ocean!).
  9. Cook pasta for 30-60 seconds, or until barely al dente.
  10. In a small sauté pan, mix cooked pasta with sauce of choice for a few seconds.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes:
The noodles were tender and had a nice bite. I like this version because it’s not all egg yolks (don’t need to figure out what to do with all those whites).

Notes:
Not bad for a basically 2-ingredient, no churn ice cream. You do need to leave it to thaw before serving otherwise it is hard and icy. I would even try to give the mixture a stir every 30 minutes if possible. I like that this is a base, and you can mix in any flavoring you’d like. I made @choczero Keto Bar (chopped up), and fresh blueberries.
