Start to Finish: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups steamed pumpkin (hot)
• 1/3 cup cashews; soaked and strained
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. mustard powder
• 2 cups shirataki macaroni
• 3 Tbsp. Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee, melted
• 1/4 cup coconut cream
• 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 cup organic bacon, diced and cooked (optional)
• 1 cup organic cheese, grated, if you tolerate dairy (optional)

Instructions:

1. Drain shirataki macaroni and rinse thoroughly. Place into a pot of boiling water for up to 3 minutes. Drain and dry noodles, squeezing out any excess water.
2. Meanwhile, add the steamed pumpkin, strained cashews, garlic and mustard powder, ghee, coconut cream and a good pinch of salt into a food processor. Blitz until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and re-blend.
3. Taste the mixture and add in more salt and apple cider vinegar, to taste, until the flavors are well-balanced. Reblend until desired flavor and texture is achieved.
4. Stir fry the shirataki macaroni for 5-10 minutes to achieve a dry texture.
5. Cover macaroni with the sauce and stir it together gently. If you’re adding in the bacon and/ or grated cheese, stir these in now; the heat from the pasta and sauce should melt the cheese beautifully. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it.
6. Serve with fresh herbs on top and enjoy.
