Keto Pasta Noodles You MUST Try Today!
My Mom could perform miracles with eggs and flour. She went through hard times where they learned to make do with very little. These noodles remind me of hers except these are only 2 net carbs!
My keto friend Shari Weiner calls these keto pasta noodles ‘Eggsta‘. It was her brilliant idea to tweak these egg fast noodles and add the psyllium to make a sturdy low carb and keto pasta noodle that is honestly a game changer!
With this basic keto pasta noodle recipe you can make almost anything that requires a sturdy linguine, fettuccine or lasagna type noodle.
The recipe even includes an option for Keto Carnivore Noodles!
Just think of the possibilities! Or should I say ‘eggstabilities’!?

- Eggs
- Cream Cheese
- Mayonnaise
- Psyllium husks (whole)
- Salt
You will also need:
- Large baking pan
- Silicone mat or parchment paper

To Make Keto Carnivore Pasta Noodles You will need:

What Can You Do With These Keto Noodles?
The first thing I did when I made them was to toss them in a non stick skillet with a couple tablespoons of Pesto. It was delicious!
- Spaghetti and meatballs (cut the noodles skinnier)
- Fettuccine Alfredo
- Chicken Noodle Soup (cut the noodles thinner and shorter)
- Lasagna (make 2 sheets at once and cut the noodles in wide strips)
- Tuna Noodle Casserole
Just think of all the amazing sauces and creations that you don’t have to use on top of zoodles or those weird smelly noodles anymore! Not that I don’t love zucchini noodles, I do and will still use them sometimes.
But when you need that keto comfort food hit, these noodles will fill the void! Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks When Making the Keto Pasta Noodles
- Be sure to let the egg and cheese mixture rest for 10 minutes after you blend. This will give the psyllium husks time to absorb and thicken up the mixture.
- Use the whole psyllium husk , not the powder for best results. If powder is all you have, then use way less, try 1 teaspoon for each tablespoon.
- Feel free to add some Italian seasoning to the egg mixture
- Double the recipe. You’ll kick yourself if you don’t!
- Spread out the batter as thin as you possibly can. The noodles will rise slightly when baking so take that into account. I found the best tool for this is an angled frosting spreader .
- Save leftovers in single portion sizes in the fridge for a quick dinner or to toss in some soup.

I can’t wait to try this recipe for noodles for the holidays!!! If you double the recipe, can you flash freeze the noodles then pkg them in freezer bags to freeze for later use?
I have not actually tried freezing these but in theory it should work. I usually double the recipe and have in a container in the fridge to use in soups or for a quick dinner. I would love to hear from any readers who have frozen these keto pasta noodles!
How long do they last in the fridge? I’m making them tonight for dinner to try them and then will probably make a couple batches and freeze for Thanksgiving. I’ll update how they turn out 😀
I’ve kept them up to a week and they were still good.
Would it be possible to bake this on parchment paper? I don’t have a silicone mat and don’t want to buy one right now.
yes! One of my son’s moved out last month and he likes to bake so I gave him my mat thinking I would replace it but I forgot. A couple days ago I ended up making the noodles and they worked ok on the parchment paper. It’s easier to make them smooth on the mat but they were perfectly good.
If I was to make chicken noodle soup, when would you recommend adding the noodles?
I can’t wait to try these..
Thanks
The noodles are fantastic in soup! I add them at the end because they are already fully cooked and you just want them to be heated through.
Can I subsitute the psyllium husks powder with xantham gum?
I have not attempted to do that because I find xantham gum difficult to work with and it won’t be a 1 to 1 substitution. I would be more inclined to try ground flax or chia seeds.
How much chia seeds, please?
I highly recommend using the recipe as written. I have not made this with chia seeds, I am just suggesting that it *could* work possibly. So if I *was* going to try chia seeds then I would start with grinding them (unless you can buy them already ground) and then measuring out the same amount as in the recipe (3 tbsp) and I *think* that could work but because I have not tried it that way, I can’t guarantee results.
Thanks for this recipe. I made it today, double quantity. They came out a bit thicker than I intended, as they seemed to rise slightly in the oven. Will try to spread a bit thinner next time, but otherwise … success!
I love pasta and really have missed it, so this is very, very welcome. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for that comment. I will mention this in the recipe today to remind people to spread out as thin as possible. My first batch was a bit thicker too, but they are a pretty awesome pasta aren’t they!?
