Ingredients

1 batch homemade keto pesto
1 package (3g net carb!) gnooda pasta
parmigiano reggiano freshly grated, to garnish
fresh basil ribonned, to garnish

Instructions

Whip up a batch of our homemade keto pesto!
Bring 8 cups water to a rolling boil and add enough salt so it tastes like the ocean (about 1 1/2 tablespoons).
Add gnooda and stir immediately. Cook for 5-8 minutes (p.s. expect a bit of foam!), strain, return to pot and add in the pesto. Now, to keep your pasta nice 'n saucy with 'drier' sauces such as pesto, I *highly* suggest mixing in a tablespoon or two of warm water. Serve right away with freshly grated parmesan and ribonned basil.
Top tip: feeling a little extra?! Get creative with the toppings of your pesto pasta and add grilled chicken and cherry tomatoes!

Notes

Please note that nutrition facts were estimated for the keto pasta (3g net carbs a serving!), with the homemade pesto. So a generous serving comes out to just 5g net carbs!
