Low Carb Bacon Spinach "Spaghetti" (Konjac Noodles)
The shirataki rice noodles used in this recipe can be substituted with any variant of shirataki noodles or low carb pasta.
Ingredients:
- 1 pouch (net weight 200g) yellow shirataki rice noodles (aka konjac/Japanese yam noodles)
- 75g streaky bacon cut to short strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic chopped
- 3 bird’s eye aka chilli padi deseeded & sliced thinly; to taste or omit
- 10g unsalted butter
- 5 tbsp rich (tetra-pak) chicken stock use more if needed, 1 tbsp at a time
- light sprinkle of garlic salt (or normal salt) to taste
- generous handful of baby spinach
- freshly cracked black pepper
Suggested Garnishes
- parmesan cheese shavings
- small drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil
- wedge of lemon
Directions:
- Prepare shirataki noodles by draining the noodles from the pouch of water. Add noodles and some water in a pot. Boil for 2 minutes. Strain the noodles. Fry the noodles in a non-oiled pan on medium heat until dry. Set aside on a plate.
- Make crispy bacon. Add bacon and olive oil to the pan. Cook the bacon until they are crisp and most of the fats rendered out. Set aside the bacon on a plate.
- Cook aromatics. Using the remaining oil in the pan, add garlic and chilli. Cook until the garlic is light golden brown, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Make the pasta. Return the prepared shirataki noodles and bacon to the pan. Add butter and chicken stock. Melt the butter and bind everything together, using more chicken stock one tablespoon at a time if too dry. Season the noodles with garlic salt.
- Add the baby spinach and let it wilt in the heat, mixing them into the noodles.
- Serve the pasta. Dish out the pasta onto a serving plate and crack fresh black pepper over it. Drizzle some evoo over the noodles. Garnish with parmesan cheese shavings and lemon wedge.
Cooking Note(s):
- I’m using shirataki rice noodles which contains 10 calories per 100g. You can substitute with any variant of shirataki (including the zero-calorie type) or other low carb pasta for this recipe.
- Seasoning the pasta with salt at step 4 is really important, without which the pasta will taste bland.
