Pasta is a comfort food for many, but traditional pasta made with wheat flour is high in carbohydrates and doesn’t always align with low-carb or gut-friendly diets. That’s where this easy high-fibre pasta comes in. Made with oat or potato fibre instead of flour, it’s a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that feels like the real pasta, without the carb crash.
Why I Started Making This High-Fibre Pasta
Let me tell you why I started making this high-fibre, low-carb pasta in the first place.
It was during the first year of COVID, when everything suddenly slowed down. Like many others, my husband and I were slightly out of shape, low on energy, and knew we had to do something for our health. So instead of waiting for things to return to normal, I used that time to change how we eat.
That’s when I came across the keto diet, and it completely shifted my perspective on food. I followed keto strictly for about a year. It taught me so much, not just about nutrition and ingredients, but about how my body actually works. I learned to pay attention to my insulin response, energy levels, mental clarity, and even my mood after meals.
Even now, I still eat mostly low-carb, because I feel better. No energy crashes, no brain fog, no heavy bloating after meals. My memory is sharper, my creativity flows, and most importantly, I feel strong and light. That’s why recipes like this one became a staple in our kitchen. It’s not just about avoiding flour, it’s about choosing foods that make you feel amazing.
Why Choose High-Fibre Pasta?
Fibre plays a crucial role in digestion, blood sugar regulation, and overall satiety. Most people don’t get enough fibre, especially if they cut carbs or avoid grains. That’s where this recipe shines.
This homemade fibre pasta offers all the comfort of noodles, while supporting your digestive health. It’s incredibly low in carbs and naturally gluten-free, making it perfect for keto, low-carb, high-fibre, or gluten-free pasta meals.
And to clarify:
- Potato fibre is not potato flour or starch.
- Oat fibre is not the same as oats.
Both are pure insoluble fibre, meaning they’re filling, have zero net carbs, and won’t spike blood sugar. You can read more about fibre here.
What do you need to make these easy low-carb noodles
You need only four ingredients for this low-carb pasta recipe:
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 flour or starch.
I sometimes use a 1:1 mix of oat fibre and unflavoured whey protein to give the pasta more structure, especially when slicing it into spaghetti or lasagne shapes.
How to make homemade fibre pasta
Forget the traditional pasta process. No flour, no kneading, no drying racks. This method is quicker, cleaner, and entirely done in the oven.
1/ Preheat the oven to 150 °c.
2/ Add all ingredients to a bowl or blender.
3/ Mix or blend it for 15-20 seconds.
4/ Stir with the spoon lightly to pop any remaining bubbles.
5/ Line a flat baking tray with parchment or use a silicone form.
6/ Pour the batter evenly over the tray—aim for a thin, even sheet.
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 completely before you cut it.

How to Cut and Use Your Gluten-Free Pasta
Once cooled, cut the pasta to suit the dish you’re making:
- For spaghetti or stir-fry: Roll the sheet into a log and slice thinly.
- For soup noodles: Cut the sheet into three rectangles, stack them, and slice into thin strips.
- For lasagne: Cut the baked sheet into lasagne-sized pieces.
- For sauerkraut or bean soup: Dice into small squares (~1.2 cm).
