If you are low carb and missing pasta, try this, I think you will be impressed:
LOW CARB PASTA OR LASAGNA SHEETS
4 eggs
125 g cream cheese - could use garlic/herb cheese
50ml or 15g psyllium husks, ground
_______________________________________________________________________________
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
Whisk together eggs, cream cheese and psyllium husks and set aside for 10 – 15 minutes, the mixture will thicken to a consistency similar to custard.
Line and grease a baking sheet, spread the mixture on to that, then take another sheet of baking paper, grease it with some oil or butter, place it greased side down on top of the dough mixture, now press down with your hands/fingers to spread the mixture thinly and evenly between the two sheets.
Bake in the oven for approx. 15 minutes.
Once its cooked, carefully remove the top layer of the paper and let the sheets cool completely before turning out the pasta sheet and removing the bottom layer of the paper, cut pasta to size. Or use a sharp knife and cut into thin tagliatelle strips.
I serve this with a carbonara, bolognaise or gorgonzola sauce and a huge salad on the side.
