Description

A subtle, delicious leek sauce tops this low carb pasta dish.


Ingredients

  • 5 3-oz packs (425 g) of shirataki noodles, fettuccine
  • 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) of coconut oil
  • 1/2 lb (225 g) of pork tenderloin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 leek (90 g), finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves (6 g), peeled and finely chopped
  • Dash of chicken broth
  • 4 Tablespoons (60 ml) of coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup (8 g) of fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F/200 C.
  2. Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold, running water and keep warm in a pot of gently simmering water on the stove.
  3. Heat one tablespoon of the coconut oil in a large pan and brown the pork tenderloin on all sides. Remove pork from the pan and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pork to a roasting tray and place in the oven for 10 minutes to cook through. Remove and allow to rest.
  4. In the meantime, heat the remaining coconut oil in the same pan used for the pork and cook the leeks and garlic over moderate heat until softened. Add a dash of chicken broth to keep the mixture moist. Stir in the coconut cream and basil until warmed through.
  5. Drain the warm noodles and place in a bowl. Spoon over the leek sauce. Slice the pork and place on top of the sauce.
