A delicious, massively-flavoured keto ‘pasta’ dish where my homemade ‘faux’ truffle pesto is spooned through shirataki (konjac) noodles. This recipe serves 4, but if you choose to serve less people, simply adjust the ingredients using the plugin facility on the recipe below. Approximately 60g / 2.1oz of pesto is used per serving, if that helps.

Fats of Life® is a blog that I run as a hobby, but did you know that I am also the author of two cookbooks? My first book Keto Kitchen (published by Kyle Books in 2020) is available worldwide (and has remained one of the best-selling low carb cookbooks in the UK). My second book Lazy Keto Kitchen (coming mid-year, 2021) is currently available to pre-order.

Konjac Noodles with 'Faux' Truffle Pesto
Per serving
Ingredients
- 'Faux' Truffle Pesto, Fats of Life recipe
- 800 g (28.2 oz) konjac pasta, 'fettucine' shape
- 4 TB olive oil
- 4 TB (4 TB ) soured cream
- sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
- generous handful parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Make the 'Faux Truffle Pesto' as per the recipe it links to above on this blog. Set aside.
- In the meantime, prepare the shirataki (konjac) noodles. I rinse them very well in a large colander, agitating it with my hands as I run warm water over it. Then, I simmer them in fresh batches of simmering water in a large pan, draining them in-between each simmer. Doing this several times will completely remove the bizarre smell often found in the packaging of these products.
- Drain the noodles well and return to a large, dry pan, stirring through the truffle pesto and olive oil to gently reheat. Once warm, divide between four warm bowls and spoon over the soured cream. Season generously with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Scatter over chopped parsley before serving.
