Skillet Tomato Cheese Pasta – Keto

I was thinking, it’s time to make a healthy low-carb Italian pasta dinner, don’t you agree? Sometimes you want pasta for dinner, we all do. And what’s better than a creamy tomato cheese fettuccine dish that you don’t feel guilty about eating? This is keto pasta dinner to add to this month’s healthy recipes. Just imagine, a low carb pasta smothered in the most flavourful Italian tomato cheese sauce. The sauce is flavoured with oregano, basil and bay leaves, and for some texture, I added grated zucchini. It is a filling meal, even without the additional protein.

The recipe is super simple to make, all you need is one large skillet if you don’t have one you can also use a large pot. To start, first sauté the onions with garlic, add the herbs and spices, tomato sauce, some broth and zucchini. Cook for 20 minutes. To make the sauce deliciously creamy, I added light cream cheese. Honestly, you can eat the sauce by spoonfuls. It’s that good. Once the sauce is thick and creamy, stir in the low-carb pasta. It comes together quickly for a filling, low-carb meal.

I discovered this low carb gluten-free tofu shirataki pasta that has only 1 net carb per serving, and it is delicious! In this incredibly creamy dish, there is plenty of sauce to coat the pasta with goodness. You will love it! The best part is, this low-carb Italian pasta dish will please those who follow a keto or low-carb diet.
