Keto Pasta with whipping cream and roasted macadamia nuts

Keto Joy: Real Pasta for the First Time in Years!

After five years of Konjac pasta and courgetti (for example: spaghetti made from zucchini with salmon and Parmesan cheese), it was a real treat for Naois to finally be able to taste real pasta (with macadamia nuts) within his keto diet, thanks to our gradual transition to a lower ketogenic ratio. Fortunately, we are not seeing an increase in seizures, which is encouraging.

A Relaxing Family Outing

During a delightful family outing to the zoo, followed by a relaxed gathering at a café, the long-awaited moment arrived. With the sauce prepared, the pasta cooked, and the macadamia nuts roasted, it was simply a matter of warming up the dish at the café.

Naois was overjoyed and really loved his meal. He called it “delicious” and immediately asked when he could eat it again.

In short, it was a truly joyful moment to see Naois relish his meal Here’s the recipe so you can try it too :-).
