Egg Noodles - Great Pasta Substitute (FM)
Recipes | November 30, 2014
I love Italian food and especially pasta with classic sauces such as The Alfredo Sauce or good old Marinara. The problem with pasta is that it’s high in carbs, which means that I always have to do my workout first and then fit the pasta dish within the 2 hour window right after my training. It doesn’t always workout that way, because I do my workouts mostly first thing in the morning and let’s face it, pasta is a more of a dinner dish. I have tried other substitutes such as the squash pasta, which can be delicious but not as satisfying. These egg noodles come a lot closer in terms of taste and satisfaction. They also work with any pasta sauce, any type of meat, and take only about 10 minutes to make.
Ingredients for two portions:
6 whole eggs
3 oz cream cheese
2 tbsp coconut flour
less then a 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp of salt
Dash of black pepper
_____________________________
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven for 350F degree.
2. Grease a 11″ x 16 1/2″ baking sheet with butter. Make sure to use a good amount and really grease the baking sheet to assure that the noodles won’t stick.
3. Add all the ingredients into a blender and mix until completely smooth.
4. Pour the mixture into the greased baking sheet. Spread it evenly from edge to edge and corner to corner. It’s going to create a very thin layer.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Take out the baking sheet and let it cool down for only about 5 minutes.
6. Use spatula to remove the sheet of baked egg pasta and roll it up. Then take a sharp knife and start slicing it up into thin noodles.
_____________________________
If you need more portions, you will have to repeat the process. Do not try to add more amount into the same baking sheet.
Enjoy with your favorite pasta sauce!

Would using parchment paper make it easier to roll and cut … plus eliminate the need for greasing the cookie sheet? Just curious. Looks delicious and a way to add more protein to traditional pasta dishes 🙂
Thanks Z!

This looks great, nice and creative!! Zuzka, or anyone else, any suggestions on an alternative to cream cheese as I can’t eat it.. 🙂
Private Member |
It works without cream cheese too, or you can add any kind of milk, even such as coconut or almond milk. It also works with different kinds of flour. I like to use Buckwheat flour.

Another way to cut the ‘pasta’ is with a pizza cutter 🙂 I wonder how using three whole eggs and six egg whites to reduce the cholesterol would work?

Cholesterol is vital to your body and brain. Check out this article

Eggs are one of the healthiest foods available and have been demonized. I personally eat eggs after all my workouts.
Love this recipe Z!!! <3

Cholesterol is important for your hormone balance, so just forget this old egg-is-the-bad-guy-staff 😀 Egg is nutritionally one of the best things you can eat! I have been eating something like 4-6eggs a day for over 10 years and only feeling healthy and strong! <3
