The Ingredients you will Need
Yeah, I know some of the ingredients aren’t traditionally used in a Carbonara Pasta. But, this Palmini Noodles Keto Carbonara is a “saucy” low carb pasta with loads of flavor.
I have added cream to this recipe but have still included instructions for the traditional whole egg. Some of us occasionally want a creamy pasta, right? And, well, mushrooms in my opinion make everything taste better! Haha!
Palmini Linguine is made with hearts of palm. It is very low carb and calorie. With only 20 kCal and 2g net carbs per serve.
Heavy Cream or two eggs lightly whisked. Heavy cream or thickened cream can be used in this recipe
Mushrooms are not traditionally used in a carbonara (boscaiola) but this way is so much better in my opinion. Use them or lose them.
Bacon – I use a smoked rindless bacon. You can substitute ham, ham hock meat, pancetta or prosciutto.
What is Palmini Pasta ?

Palmini Pasta is made from hearts of palm (trees). It is naturally very low in carbs and calories, making it a perfect keto pasta alternative. The Palmini brand also make Lasagna Pasta and Keto Rice.
I can honestly say it is my preferred keto pasta of choice. I have not yet tried the Palmini Rice but will be getting some very soon to try as well. The best bit about the Palmini noodles is that they are a perfect keto pantry product. You can have delicious, tasty keto pasta ready in just minutes or even use it to add extra deliciousness to keto soups and stews.
How to Make It in Easy Step by Step
Step 1: Cook the bacon and mushrooms until lightly golden.
Step 2: Add the cream and parmesan (if using) and cook until the sauce begins to thicken.
Step 3. Add the Palmini linguine and cook until heated through and sauce is thick. (If using the eggs; whisk through after the pasta has heated through. Remove from the heat and stir until the pasta is coated with the sauce, and the egg does not scramble). Serve with fresh chives.
Hot Tips and FAQs
It may be available in some local supermarkets or stores, but is not stocked nationally by any of the big brands.
You can use any pasta of choice. Enoki mushrooms and zucchini noodles are both great low carb pasta choices.
The Palmini noodles are very neutral in flavor. They have a slightly lemony flavour with an al-dente like “bite” to them. They are great with any kind of low carb sauce recipes, or even to add to a salad and tossed in a dressing or fresh pesto sauce.
I personally find it works best if I add the beaten eggs while the pasta is taken off the heat, to provide gentle heat that will cook the eggs and not curdle or scramble them. Fold through the parmesan and season well.
