Notes

  • Squeeze out excess moisture from cauliflower, as always, for firmer pasta.
  • Add other herbs, such as oregano or basil, for additional flavor.
  • For evenly sized strips of pasta use a pizza cutter.
  • Leftover cooked pasta can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For best results: Serve with keto sauces which are creamy.
