How to Make Alfredo Sauce with Heavy Whipping Cream
I like to add cream cheese to my alfredo sauce. You can totally omit it if you wish. I add cream cheese for additional flavor. It also helps add a little additional fat for keto macros.

- Allow the butter to melt and then add heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, shredded parmesan reggiano, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir continuously until the cheese has melted.

What are Shirataki Noodles Made of? Where Can I Get Them?
The noodles are made of Konjac flour, water, and lime water. Konjac flour is a fiber that comes from the Konjac plant. The Konjac flour can you help to improve digestive and is good for the intestine.
The fiber also makes you feel fuller longer. The noodles are vegan and gluten-free. You can find the noodles here on Amazon.
What Do the Noodles Taste Like?
They don't have much taste. The noodles will carry the taste of the dish that you pair them with. In this case, alfredo sauce. There is a very noticeable TEXTURE. The texture is very slick, and could be described as rubbery. They don't taste anything like rubber, but the texture is very on par.
What's the verdict? Did I enjoy the noodles. I think they are ok. I prefer zucchini noodles and spaghetti squash to the miracle noodles. However, the miracle noodles aren't bad.
