Penne Alla Vodka is the perfect comfort food! For our Keto Penne Alla Vodka, I am using my family’s recipe. Luckily, It just happens to be keto – low carb and high in fat. In this blog post, we are including our favorite low carb pasta brands and some ideas if you don’t want to use low carb pasta.
Keto-Friendly Pasta
We have a few different brands that we regularly use for our low carb pasta meals. For this recipe we used the Ciao Carb Proto Pasta – Penne. It has a more al dente texture which we find perfect for this dish. Each serving has 7g of net carbs and 30g of protein!
(Vodka Sauce)
We also like to use edamame pasta or black bean pasta. There are a few different brands for these types of pasta. The edamame pasta from Liviva Organics has 5g of net carbs per serving. While the black bean spaghetti has 11g of net carbs per serving. Here in western Canada, you can find this pasta at most grocery stores including Superstore and Save-On-Foods.
(Roasted Chicken Thighs and Vegetables)
Meal Ideas
If low carb pasta isn’t your thing (I understand), there are other ways that you can use our keto vodka sauce! This sauce is great with roasted chicken thighs and your favorite veggies. Here we’ve used cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, zucchini and peppers. Cauliflower will also be great here.
