I get really excited when I find new low carb options. Especially ones that I can disguise as pasta. Palmini pasta is made from hearts of palm and the carb count is low (only 3 g. per serving) and when rinsed and cooked, tastes almost like the real thing!
You can substitute it for any pasta dish by just rinsing and heating.
Here's how I prepare the Chicken Alfredo:
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
2 cans Rao's roasted garlic alfredo sauce (2 carbs per serving)
3-4 cans Palmini pasta (rinsed and drained)
I prepare mine in a pressure cooker (Ninja Foodi model), but you could easily cook your chicken and shred it or even add rotisserie chicken.
In my pressure cooker, I add the chicken and alfredo sauce.
Set the function to "Pressure" and set the timer for 10 minutes. Once the pot has depressurized, I shred the chicken and then add the pasta. I then set the function to pressure again, and cook for another 5 minutes.
After the pot depressurizes, I let it sit so that the sauce can thicken before serving! I top with Himalayan salt and some cracked pepper and done! Super easy and quick!
If you're missing your starches and longing for pasta, this is a must try. My husband even prefers this to traditional pasta!
Enjoy!
