Still trying to make this keto thing work better for me, and the big holes have been the bread, which has been kind of sorted, and pasta.
While i have tried using cabbage as pasta substitute it isnt quite on the money on the long term... so here i am trying some new styles and delivering the report on the results.
Now this works quite decently, but there are some differences that may be deal breakers for some.
The structure of the pasta is a bit crumbly, it holds together well enough, but it breaks considerably easily. That being said home made pasta is naturally a bit more crumbly, but this is just that little bit more.
The taste is different, let that be known. This may be a bit much for some, but you can definitely taste the quinoa flour. I tried to combat this with herbs and spices, but what i found was the best solution was the sauce... lots of sauce.
When its drenched in sauce it disguises everything enough to make it seem like legit pasta.
You have to admit it looks pretty cool though huh ?
ok so im sure you want to know how to make this pasta and try it out for yourself so here is the recipe and method;
-1.5 cup quinoa flour
Additional items i used to chill the flavor
Now all you have to do is combine it with your favorite pasta sauce and serve. As i said it is a bit different than what 'normal pasta' is like.
I think it is a reasonable substitute that requires some refining, but when it comes down to either having this of nothing im sure many people would rather have something like this.
I will endeavor to keep working at these recipes and get them up to scratch so they are as close to the alternatives as possible.
