Do you have a craving for pasta and zucchini noodles are just not cutting
it? Stay tuned I've got the recipe for you Got a question for you. What is one of the things
that you miss on keto? For me it's a couple of things it was my grandmother's hard dumplings
and pasta. Well, I've already fixed the dumpling situation which will be a video later on, but
I've just recently fixed the pasta situation. And everybody always tells you oh go for the
zucchini noodles or the spaghetti squash or whatever substitutions they have, and while
those are good as dishes on their own, when you're really craving the pasta those don't work. I
mean it doesn't satisfy that need. Well I recently found a recipe that mimicked pasta. now let me
backtrack. You can go online and there's a lot of different things that you can do for pasta and
one of the closest ones that I found was actually a baked egg noodle you had to put in the
oven and put it out on a sheet you know and and but it didn't really perform like pasta.
And that's what I wanted.
I wanted something that I could put in dishes and make macaroni
and cheese or chicken spaghetti or lasagna and I couldn't find anything. Well I found a recipe
online on reddit and the lady gave ingredients on how to do it and she said that it acted like
pasta. It dried like pasta, It cooked like pasta, and I thought okay, but my brain started
thinking and i was she was using lupin flour and some other stuff to do it. Now my mind
started thinking "what if i used Carbalose flour?" Now this is something that's new to me, I've just
started using it and I'll tell you right off I am in love with it that I'm just...
I'm using it for a
few things, not everything but a few things because it mimics flour. Now I'm a proponent you do your
own research okay because it is not for everybody. Be your own judge. Now if you're doing this for
strict keto, yeah this is probably not the flour for you because it is a wheat derivative
and it does have a vital wheat gluten in it. So like and if you're wheat intolerant
gluten intolerant I'm sorry this is not this is not going to work for you.
But
if you're just doing keto low carb for lowering your carbs and you're not worried about
the wheat or you're not worried about the gluten then you're gonna love this. Okay so i tried that
recipe and I actually tried five different recipes, and the one that come number one, it dries
like pasta - so you can make a batch and you can actually dry it and store it in your pantry for
months on end. Yeah like real store-bought pasta. It cooks like pasta. You put it in boiling
water and you if you're doing it fresh you cook it for about a minute or two.
If you drying
it you need it about 10 to 12 minutes to boil it . It holds up to sauces. It's got a really good taste.
My recipe, you would be hard to hard pressed to distinguish this from real
pasta and you're going to be so amazed at how easy this is. Okay so let's dig in okay first ingredient you're going to need
is Carbalose flour and when I bought it, and i will put a link down below for it it, comes in a
three pound bag. I don't know if you can see this and the net carbs on this is
i've lost it it was really low um but anyway if you're unfamiliar
if you're unfamiliar with what Carbalose flour is it is actually the main ingredient in carb quick.
The
difference between this and carb quick is the difference between flour and bisquick
carb quake has the extra stuff to make it more uh suitable for biscuits and stuff
you don't have to add the leavening or the buttermilk and all that um because it
has it in there. Okay so what you need is for one batch one batch this
makes four um servings okay you can make it where it's uh three servings
whatever you you size it up but i've got this uh figured out as four servings to a little over
three carbs three net carbs per serving for for four serving batch okay what you
need is 80 grams of carbalous flour i'm a little over yeah that work and you need one large egg put this in here don't lose
out all your good flour and try to get these eggs at room
temperature mine are not quite there you can add a pinch of salt if you want um i don't or i didn't last time it probably won't be
this time and you just start stirring it in now if you find that your egg is not enough
for the batter for the dough no problem you want to add a little water
to it not much just a little a little at a time until you get
the consistency that you need okay this is what you're looking for okay can you see it it's not sticky but it's not dry you can mold it okay now after you've worked with it a
little bit it doesn't take much get it to where you want it here comes the hard
part you need to let it rest for about 20 to 30 minutes okay and then we'll come back so i've
got a question for you how many of you guys have been on keto for a while and you find
that there's something that you really miss and no matter what the substitutions they tell
you to try it just doesn't satisfy the craving what is the dish for you that you missed the most
comment down below i'm curious i want to know like i said for me it was my grandmother's hard
dumplings and pasta don't want it all the time it's not something that i want every day but there
are times that you just have a craving for it and it's not all you keto it's just like nope
sorry and i'm telling you zoodles zoodles zucchini noodles now don't get me wrong i love me some good
spaghetti squash but no it just doesn't have that satisfaction so but really comment down below
let me know what it is that you miss the most okay and i will be right back okay so it's been
about 30 minutes now actually this dough is a soft dough uh it's a lot softer than the other recipes
that i started so if for some reason you can't wait for the 30 minutes i don't think it's going
to make that much of a difference but just in case let it rest so now what we're going to do is take
some more of that Carbalose flour and you want to dust your board because while
it's not sticky it is still wet okay and you want to start working this
and i probably didn't have to dust that much put this to the side now you
want your rolling pin for this go ahead and dust it too whoops you don't have to roll it out much because we're
actually going to roll it in here but what i do like to do let's see okay i'm gonna all right let's try this again
okay so what i like to do is since this is four servings is
to go ahead see it's real tender and portion it out into four pieces and you can be more
precise with this if you need to and i know you're thinking
that's not much pasta but we're going to roll it out in here
and you'll actually see that they get a lot more than what it looks like
okay so we're back now i had to get my see if i could do this yeah just barely okay you want to make sure that you've got enough flour on your pasta because you don't want it sticking in the machine and then we're just going to start rolling
it hang on make sure that you got it on the largest setting for me that happens to
be one your pasta machine may be different okay okay and then go down a setting and roll it again and if you're smart you will actually
anchor your pasta machine to your board go down a setting let's see now you don't
absolutely have to have a pasta machine to do this you can definitely roll this out by hand go down a setting see the more you roll it
out the thinner it gets in the more pasta you actually end up with (laughter) and i think that would be
as far as i would go in this now from here you cut it in shapes now my pasta
machine is a cheap one i've tried using these other shapes and yeah i end up still having
to pull it apart but for noodles look just cut and you can actually look up videos and you
can make different shapes from this pasta you can dry it now if you want to use it fresh just simply take this put it in a pot of
boiling water for about a minute or two and then you've got your pasta you can then you
can add pasta sauce to it if you want um if you want to dry it just you they've got drying racks
you can use or you can just put this on like a uh what i do it's a like a you know when you
take your cookies out of the oven and you cooling rack that's what
i'm trying to come up with put them on the cooling rack overnight and
you've got pasta anyway that's enough for a little sauce on it and
there you go you've got pasta so let me get up some boiling water and i'll show
you what it looks like when it's done but look see if you can see that it looks like fresh pasta it tastes like fresh pasta it dries like
fresh pasta it stores like real pasta that's real pasta ladies and gentlemen now whatever recipe that calls for
pasta that you want you can make it so i'll come back and i'll show you
what it looks like when it's cooked so to cook your pasta you just put it in
boiling water for about a minute or two and you check it like you would regular pasta and when it's done just take
it out add your favorite sauce you can put it in a dish put sauce over it whatever you would do
