Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet Qetoe Low Carb Fettuccine
  • 200g prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Method
 

  1. Soak the Qetoe Low Carb Fettuccine in boiling water for 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and garlic slices. Sauté gently until fragrant and golden, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the prawns to the pan and cook until they turn pink, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the red pepper flakes (if using) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the drained Qetoe Fettuccine to the pan, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the garlic oil and prawns.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with grated parmesan if desired.

Notes

Make sure not to overly cook the prawns; they should be just pink and firm. You can also reserve some pasta water to loosen the dish if needed!
Using Qetoe Low Carb Fettuccine reduces the traditional carbs significantly, making this dish suitable for a low carb or keto lifestyle.
