Looking for a metabolically healthy pasta swap? Konjac noodles, also known as shirataki noodles, are filled with fiber which can help to blunt a glucose spike. The main carbohydrate in konjac noodles is glucomannan fiber, which can feed the good bacteria in your colon because of its slow digestion. Here’s @nestwellness_’ recipe for konjac noodles with a creamy, dairy-free romesco sauce; serves 4 👇 Romesco Sauce Ingredients - 3/4 cup chopped blanched almonds - 4 tbsp olive oil - 3/4 cup minced onion - 5 cloves garlic, minced - 2 large fire-roasted red peppers (jarred ok) - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil - 2 tbsp tomato paste - 1 1/2 tsp anchovy paste - 1 cup water - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar - 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste - 1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper (or more if you like spicier!)
