Preparation and Cooking Overview

Making these noodles is quick and simple. Blend eggs and cream cheese into a smooth batter, bake it into a thin sheet, then slice it into noodle-like strips. The result? Soft, pasta-like noodles perfect for keto-friendly dishes!

Chef's note

These noodles are incredibly versatile—add paprika or red pepper flakes for extra flavor. If you prefer a firmer texture, sprinkle a bit of psyllium husk powder into the batter before baking. You can also cut the noodles into different shapes, from fettuccine-style strips to wider lasagna sheets for layering.

Ingredients for This Keto Noodles Recipe (Egg Noodles)

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  •  ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Cream cheese: It adds a subtle sweetness and creamy texture while keeping the noodles dairy-free and keto-friendly.

Additional Ingredients

If you want extra texture or a firmer bite, try:

  • Nutritional yeast: It adds a cheesy, umami-rich flavor without dairy, enhancing the savory depth of the noodles.
  • Psyllium husk powder: This improves texture by adding slight chewiness, making the noodles more pasta-like.
  • Red pepper flakes: They add heat, a touch of smokiness, and a bold kick that enhances the overall flavor of a dish.

How to Make Keto Noodles: Step-by-Step Guide

Cooking methods

  • Sautéing
  • Baking

Preparation Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Blend eggs, cream cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt until smooth.
  2. Pour onto the lined baking sheet, spreading evenly into a thin layer.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until set but not browned.
  4. Let cool, then slice into strips or squares.

Chef's pro tip

Ensure the batter is blended until completely smooth—any lumps in the cream cheese can lead to an uneven texture in the noodles. For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese and blend on high speed to achieve a silky consistency. For firmer egg noodles, chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes after baking before slicing.

How to Serve with Keto Noodles

  • Keto Alfredo sauce: The creamy, garlicky richness of Alfredo sauce coats the soft egg noodles perfectly.
  • Pesto sauce: The fresh, herby flavors of basil pesto complement the light texture of the noodles.
  • Creamy chicken mushroom sauce: Tender chicken and earthy mushrooms in a creamy sauce create a hearty and flavorful pairing with the delicate egg noodles.
  • Low-carb marinara sauce: The bright acidity and rich tomato flavor of marinara bring a classic Italian feel, making the noodles taste like a keto-friendly pasta dish.

How to Make It Healthier

  • Swap half the cream cheese in egg noodles with almond milk to lower fat.

Time-Saving Tips

  • Batch cooking: Double or triple the recipe and store extra noodle sheets in the fridge or freezer for quick meal prep.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Storage instructions

  • Refrigeration: Store the cooked egg noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Lay the sliced noodles in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray, freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

Reheating best practices

  • Stovetop: Warm the noodles in a non-stick pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes to prevent them from drying out or overcooking.
  • Oven: Warm in the oven at 300°F for 5 minutes.
  • Microwave: Heat in 10-second intervals to maintain texture, as they can become rubbery if overheated.

Frequently asked questions

Keto-friendly noodles include zucchini noodles (zoodles), shirataki noodles, spaghetti squash, kelp noodles, and homemade egg noodles. These options are low in carbs and work well with various keto sauces.

You can eat zoodles, shirataki noodles, kelp noodles, spaghetti squash, or homemade egg noodles on a keto diet. These alternatives provide a pasta-like experience without the high-carb content of traditional wheat noodles.

Keto noodles are made from low-carb vegetables (like zucchini or spaghetti squash), konjac root (for shirataki noodles), or high-protein ingredients (like eggs and cheese in homemade egg noodles). These ingredients keep carbs minimal while providing texture and flavor.

You can buy shirataki noodles, kelp noodles, and pre-spiralized zoodles at most grocery stores, health food stores, or online retailers like Amazon, Walmart, or Whole Foods. Look in the produce section for zoodles and the refrigerated section for shirataki noodles.

Yes, but only keto-friendly noodles like zoodles, shirataki, spaghetti squash, or egg-based noodles. Regular pasta is too high in carbs and not suitable for keto.

Not exactly. Shirataki noodles have a slightly chewy texture and absorb the flavors of sauces well. Rinsing and dry-frying them improve their taste and remove the initial odor.

Great sauce options for keto noodles include Alfredo, marinara, pesto, garlic butter, and creamy cheese sauces. These sauces are low in carbs and enhance the flavor of your keto noodle dish.
