I don’t think a little pasta will harm her as she probably only had 1 spoon full, LOL. I don’t eat pasta or any other carbs (haven’t for 5 years now) but when white truffles are available, which is now, I will order a half portion and really doesn’t effect me. I do have a pasta recipe which is similar to the
“HOLY GRAIL” pizza dough, it’s awesome, crispy and you can’t tell it’s not flour dough. Fooled all my “CAB FRIENDS” and they prefer it. The pasta, I have not tried yet, stay tuned!!!!!!

I had this with a 7 oz box of Banza chickpea pasta. I used bacon fat instead of butter. I like it better without the pecans. I use bone broth instead of plain broth. It makes four satisfying servings and it’s addictive. Cal: 450, fat: 23, carbs: 29, protein: 33. I have to be careful and ration it out. Too good 😛
