Love Your Pasta and Eat it too!

My new favorite meal: “Karra Approved” Pasta!







Shirataki Noodles low-carb noodles can satisfy your spaghetti cravings, and are a gluten free replacement for pasta. Shirataki Noodles are made from yams, and are naturally low in calories and carbs, plus they are an excellent source of fiber, depending on the brand you prefer. These low fat noodles are tender and absorb the flavors you cook them with, so be creative and try them with every meal.



Ingredients:
1 package of shirataki noodles
½ cup of pasta sauce (all natural or organic)
3 oz of extra lean (99%) ground turkey

Directions:
1. Cook the ground turkey in a skillet and add Italian seasoning to taste,
2. In a pot, simmer ½ cup of pasta sauce under low heat.
3. When the ground turkey is finished cooking, measure out 3 oz and place in the pot of pasta sauce
4. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes
5. Strain the noodles then pour pasta and ground turkey mixture over noodles.
