The Best Keto 2-Ingredient Pasta

This fantastic 2-ingredient Keto-friendly pasta recipe is a keeper! It's easy to prepare and pairs perfectly with your favorite pasta toppings. Please note that the total preparation time includes the time needed to refrigerate the pasta. The dough must sit in the refrigerator to dry out, so prepare this pasta ahead of time. You can also refrigerate it overnight. Cooking pasta is easy, but be careful to cook it for only a short time; otherwise, it will lose its form and break down. Finally, serve the pasta with your favorite Keto-friendly toppings and enjoy!

Can you eat pasta on Keto?

Recipe Steps

steps 6

6 h 30 min

  • Step 1

    Shred the mozzarella and add to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute or until the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the microwave and stir well.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Allow the mozzarella to cool for 1 minute, so that it will not cook the egg. Add the egg yolks and stir well again. You will get a uniform yellow dough.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Let it rest for a few minutes, but not too long. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Use a rolling pin over the top piece of parchment paper, and roll the dough until approximately 3mm (1/8 inch) thick. Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Cut the dough into the desired shape. Refrigerate the pasta for at least 6 hours.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    When ready to cook, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook for 30-40 seconds. Carefully remove the pasta from the pot and drain.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Serve pasta immediately. Optionally, serve with your favorite Keto-friendly sauce or Mozzarella. Garnish according to your taste.
    Step 6

    This recipe did not work, tried multiple times following the directions and I just get a blob of cheese even with the egg mixed in

      Oh, I'm terribly sorry to hear that! One of the possible issues could be the wrong type of mozzarella. Which one did you use? Low moisture and pre-shredded are the best for this recipe. They are dry enough and easy to mix in. Also, maybe you let the cheese cool too much, which can cause the problem while mixing in the egg. If the egg is too cold, it can also cause a problem because it will cool the melted cheese rapidly and prevent the dough from forming. This recipe looks quite simple, but I understand it can go wrong for various reasons. Again, I'm so sorry to hear that.

        Have you tried the egg white wraps sliced like fettuccini noodles? They aren’t too bad. Texture wise they are spongy and they take on the flavor of your sauce.

        I’m getting used to Palmini Angel Hair spaghetti. I like it better than Zoodles and Miracle Noodles.

        I don’t think so and I wouldn’t. Also, heat it in hot, not boiling water just to heat or it could break down. Keto twins made this in one of their videos on YouTube.
