Creamy Pasta With Marinara

Now this one comes with a big disclaimer. Depending on how hardcore you are with your Keto Diet, you may not even be able to have this in one serving. It comes in at a whopping 39.25 carbs per serving. This recipe is more for if you are having a crazy craving or you are doing Dirty Keto. You can eat less than a serving to bring it down a tad and the carbs are mostly veggie carbs, which I’ve been led to believe, is better.

At any rate, you voted and you got it! My Creamy Pasta With Marinara recipe. Lower carb than your traditional pasta and gluten free!
