Experience the low-carb luxury of Shirataki noodles, renowned as “Miracle Noodles”, infused with the earthiness of mushrooms and the luscious richness of cream cheese. The pièce de résistance is a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg, crowning this keto carbonara recipe as an unmissable culinary masterpiece.
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 packs of Shirataki noodles (spaghetti style), typically 200g each
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 eggs (for the sunny side up)
- 50g grated Parmesan cheese
- 110g pancetta or diced bacon
- 150g fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 60g cream cheese, softened
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Extra grated Parmesan, for serving
- Optional: A pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Shirataki Noodles:
- Start by draining the Shirataki noodles.
- Rinse them well under cold water.
- On medium heat, dry the noodles in a non-stick skillet for 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
2. Craft the Carbonara Sauce:
- Combine the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and 50g of Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta or bacon until crispy.
- Introduce the sliced mushrooms, sautéing until they soften.
- Add the minced garlic (and optionally, red pepper flakes), sautéing further until the garlic is golden.
- Incorporate the prepared Shirataki noodles into the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
3. Top with a Sunny Side Up Egg:
- In a separate pan, cook two sunny side up eggs. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
- As the eggs are cooking, pour the creamy egg and cheese mixture over the noodles, stirring continuously for an even coat. The skillet’s residual heat will yield a rich, creamy sauce.
4. Serve and Relish:
- Plate the creamy carbonara, and place the sunny side up egg delicately on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese.
This keto carbonara is a symphony of textures and flavors, from the silky noodles and creamy sauce to the savory pancetta and earthy mushrooms. The sunny side up egg adds a layer of richness and depth, making each bite sheer perfection. Enjoy your gourmet journey!
