SERVING IDEAS:

  • Cauliflower rice is an excellent low-carb substitute for regular rice. It gives your food structure and absorbs the creamy sauce.
  • Zucchini noodles is an excellent alternative for a keto meal, it’s light and fresh and pairs well with the creamy sauce.
  • While adhering to a low-carb diet roasted vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, or asparagus can give the creamy dish some crisp and balance.
  • Keto-friendly garlic bread prepared with almond flour or coconut flour is ideal if you want bread to go with the meal.
  • The main dish’s rich taste may be reviving contrasted with a simple side salad of mixed greens, avocado, and mild vinaigrette.
  • If you want something more pasta-like, these calorie-free Shirataki Noodles are a fantastic substitute that is perfect for mopping up the rich sauce

TIPS:

  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to make it spicier and for the additional taste.
  • We can use coconut cream or a dairy substitute to make this meal dairy-free
