- 1
Prepare shirataki noodles
Drain the 12 oz package of shirataki noodles into a colander. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water for 1 minute while breaking up any clumps. Transfer noodles to a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and press firmly to remove as much water as possible (about 1–2 minutes). Optionally cut noodles into shorter lengths with scissors for easier eating.

Dry-fry noodles
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained, dried shirataki noodles and dry-fry, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes until most steam has evaporated and the noodles begin to squeak. This step reduces excess moisture and improves texture.

Finish noodles with oil & aromatics
Reduce heat to medium. Push noodles to one side of the skillet; add 2 tbs olive oil and 1 tbs butter to the cleared side. When butter melts, add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté 30–45 seconds until fragrant (do not brown). Toss garlic with the noodles to coat evenly.

Add greens and sauce
Add 2 cups chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted. Pour in 1.5 cups creamy Alfredo sauce and stir to combine, coating the noodles and spinach. Simmer gently 2–3 minutes so sauce thickens and heats through. If sauce seems too thick, add up to 2 tbs water or unsweetened almond milk to loosen slightly.

Season & finish
Stir in 1 cup finely grated Parmesan, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 2 tbs chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning (add red pepper flakes if using). Heat 30–60 seconds more until cheese melts into the sauce. Remove from heat.

Season & reheat grilled chicken
If using pre-cooked grilled chicken, season sliced chicken (8 oz) lightly with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp olive oil. Warm a small skillet over medium heat and add chicken slices. Heat 1–2 minutes per side until warmed through and slightly golden. Alternatively, warm in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 6–8 minutes.

Add to pasta
Toss warmed chicken with the finished pasta in the skillet for 30 seconds to combine, or plate pasta and top with chicken slices.

Make quick keto Alfredo
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 2 tbs unsalted butter. Add 1 minced garlic clove and sauté 20–30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and bring just to a simmer, stirring. Add 2 oz softened cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce is silky. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and use immediately (makes ~1.5 cups).
