Keto Mac And Cheese Ingredients

– Keto pasta: I use keto pasta I get at my local grocery store. It taste and cooks just like regular pasta. If you can’t find it, you could also use zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles

– Heavy cream: I use full fat heavy cream. This is a must ingredient for the best low carb mac and cheese. Makes the sauce so creamy!

– Cheese: I like to use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, but you could really use any type of cheese you like. Gruyere would be good too!

– Salt and pepper: I like to add a little salt and pepper. I use sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

If you are looking for a low carb side dish to serve with your keto mac and cheese, I have a few suggestions.

Can you eat macaroni on keto?

No, macaroni is a type of pasta made with wheat flour and thus high in carbs. Regular pasta is full of carbs and not suitable for a keto diet.

However, there are keto-friendly pasta alternatives available, such as zoodles (zucchini noodles), keto pasta, and shirataki noodles.
