Another keto pasta variation
Ingredients
1 cup (112g) of shredded mozzarella cheese in full fat
one huge egg yolk
One quarter teaspoon xanthan gum, optional
In a big bowl, combine xanthan gum and mozzarella cheese.
The cheese needs to be microwaved for about a minute to melt.
With a spatula, quickly form the cheese into a ball.
Use one hand to fold the cheese into itself and the other to stir with a spatula until the pasta dough is uniformly golden. Before adding the egg yolk, make sure the cheese is warm, not hot.
You should place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper that you prepare with cooking spray.
Roll out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Use a pizza cutter and baking spray to make spaghetti-like strands out of the dough.
Place the spaghetti on a baking sheet and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
After cooling, separate the strands from one another.
Get a big pot two-thirds full of water. Increase heat to boil water.
When the water is boiling, add the pasta, and cook it for only one minute.
Shake out any extra water from pasta after washing it in water that is neither too hot nor too cold.
