Pasta is a favoured food for many people. It’s a part of so many popular meals. But as pasta is made of flour, it sometimes doesn’t fit our diet preferences because flour is high in carbohydrates. This easy high-fibre pasta recipe uses potato or oat fibre instead of flour. Potato fibre isn’t potato flour, and oat fibre isn’t oats. Read more about fibre.
What do you need to make this easy high-fibre pasta
You need only four ingredients for this fantastic pasta.
Ingredients:
- Large egg
- Potato or Oat fibre (not flour, not starch)
- Cream cheese or labneh or mascarpone
- Salt
NOTE:
Make sure you use fibre and not the flour or starch.
I sometimes use a combination of Oat fibre and Unflavoured whey protein 1:1.
How to make high-fibre pasta
Unlike homemade flour noodles, when you have to roll out the dough, this low-carb noodles made with fibre are ready in a few minutes. We don’t cook them in salty water but bake the whole batter in the oven and cut it after it cooled down.
1/ Preheat the oven to 150 C.
2/ Add all ingredients in a bowl or a blender.
3/ Mix or blend it for 20 seconds.
4/ Stir with the spoon lightly so the bubbles disappear.
5/ Cover a baking tray with parchment or nonstick baking paper.
6/ Pour the batter on the covered baking tray (or use a large flat silicon form) and spread as evenly as possible.
7/ Bake for 7-8 minutes. The time depends on your oven’s performance. In my oven in the UK, I leave it for 8 minutes, while in the oven in Dubai, I leave it for only 7 minutes.
8/ Take it out and let it cool before you cut it.
For this recipe, I was inspired by Low Carb No Carb
NOTE:
Before you cut it, choose the length and thickness of your noodles according to the meal you want to use them for. For Spaghetti and Stir fry, I roll the baked noodle sheet into a log and slice. However, for soup noodles, I prefer to cut the sheet into three rectangles, put one on the other and slice it to the preferred thickness.
Serving ideas
As I previously mentioned, you can add these high-fibre noodles to various meals where you would use regular noodles.
- Rather then regular spaghetti pasta for the Carbonara or Bolognese sauce use this high-fibre pasta to reduce your carbs.
- Instead of vermicelli, try these noodles in Chicken or Beef broth soup, Bean soup or Tomato soup. Even if you like Christmas sauerkraut soup, you can cut the baked noodle sheet into approx 1/2 inch (1.2cm) squares and add to the soup.
- If you fancy lasagne but don’t want to eat extra carbohydrates, use this pasta batter and cut it into the shape of lasagne sheets.
- I also love to eat Cheese and bacon noodles.
Let me know where you replaced regular noodles for these easy, high-fibre ones in the comment below. I am looking forward to hearing about your experience.
