Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Yield:6

Notes

  • Any cream cheese will work, but I recommend Philadelphia brand because of the carb count. For this recipe, Philadelphia cream cheese will net you 4 grams of carbs, while the same amount of Kroger brand cream cheese nets 8 grams
  • Keep it Keto: I like to use 3 cans of palmini noodles (or just 2 cans when I want it really saucy) to get that great pasta texture with only 2g net carbs per serving. Shirataki noodles, zoodles (zucchini noodles), and kelp noodles are great alternatives, too! For a side dish, check out the keto green bean recipe from our sister site, Easy Healthy Recipes.
