This, the original and best Keto Fettuccini Alfredo recipe, is so creamy and satisfying that it will make sticking to your 5 day egg fast a breeze! In fact this keto Fettuccini Alfredo is so good that you may end up adding it to your weekly rotation!
I made it! 5 days on the IBIH Keto Egg Fast Diet and I’m down a total of 7.4 lbs as of this morning! This Keto Egg Fast Fettuccini Alfredo recipe is a keeper, and definitely contributed to my successfully staying on the keto egg fast for the full 5 days!
I’m already deep in ketosis (the strips are purple which NEVER happens,) from this keto egg fast, and I’m hoping that maintaining my macros at a really high fat content, very low carb, and less protein than usual rate will keep the weight from coming back on overnight.
I’ll be reporting my weight fluctuations daily via Instagram and Facebook, but won’t have time to post anything here on the blog for the next few days. I’ll update you in a post sometime this weekend though, with a 7 day Egg Fast menu plan (5 days on, 2 days off) soon to follow.
What I Ate on Day Five of the Keto Egg Fast Diet
7 eggs
2 Tbsp MCT oil
5 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
4 oz cream cheese
2 string cheese
1 oz cheddar
1 Tbsp grated parmesan
120 oz spring water
I’m not going to lie, yesterday was ROUGH! By about noon the idea of eating another egg in any form was making me want to hurl. I was cranky, had a headache, and really wanted to quit this keto egg fast. It didn’t help that Mr. Hungry was churning out delicious smelling pizzas in our wood-fired oven either! This keto egg fast fettuccini alfredo recipe saved the day for sure!
It’s not easy to get the right consistency in a flourless keto “pasta,” and believe me I’ve tried. I finally hit on a combo that provides just the right aldente “bite” that feels like eating the real thing. Not too mushy, perfectly pliable, and doesn’t fall apart in the sauce.
And the sauce – oooooh the sauce! This keto egg fast fettuccini alfredo sauce is so creamy and cheesy that I prefer it over the flour-laden real thing! And it’s so easy to make – it literally takes less than two minutes, and can be used to dress up chicken, veggies, pretty much any savory dish will be improved with a heaping tablespoon of this easy keto egg fast alfredo sauce!!!
I’m writing this keto fettuccini alfredo recipe as a single serving because the pasta doesn’t reheat well – I hit it in the microwave while in the sauce because it got cold while taking the photos, and the “pasta” got a little tough – not horrible, just not as good as fresh.
The sauce for this keto fettuccini alfredo recipe reheats fine though – so you can make extra of that if you want, so you have it on hand. This is incredibly rich, so if you can’t eat it all, then just be sure to reheat it very gently for as little time as possible, so your keto noodles don’t get too tough.
Keto Fettuccini Alfredo
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 1 serving 1x
- Diet: Diabetic
Description
Keto Fettuccini Alfredo that tastes like the real thing and works for a regular low carb diet or the 5 day keto egg fast.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 oz cream cheese
- pinch of salt
- pinch of garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Blend the eggs, cream cheese, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a magic bullet or blender.
- Pour into a butter-greased 8 x 8 pan.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes or until just set.
- Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently release the sheet of “pasta” from the pan.
- Roll it up and slice with a sharp knife into 1/8 inch thick slices.
- Gently unroll and set aside.
- Combine the mascarpone, parmesan cheese, and butter in a small bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
- Whisk.
- Microwave on high another 30 seconds.
- Whisk again until smooth (this may take a minute because the sauce will have separated – keep whisking and it will come back together!)
- Add the pasta to the hot sauce and toss gently.
- Serve immediately with more freshly ground black pepper if desired.
Notes
Approximate net carbs per serving = 2g
Alternative Sauce Recipe:
As an alternative to the mascarpone, you can make this sauce in the same method with 2 oz cream cheese, 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream, 1 Tbsp parmesan, 1 Tbsp butter – it will taste amazing, but is not technically legal on the Egg Fast due to the heavy whipping cream. I doubt it will make a big difference in your results though, so if it’s what you have on hand, go for it!

Anna Funnell says
Just made this for dinner on day 2 of the egg fast. My oven must be similar to Mellissa’s because my ‘noodles’ cooked perfectly in the recommended time at the recommended temperature (as did my custard – using the oven to cook both at the same time as they’re the same temperature). The texture was a bit pancake-y, but they certainly did the job with the delicious sauce, which my non-keto son enjoyed too with some real spaghetti (as I couldn’t find fettuccini anywhere).
I could actually have eaten slightly more, but I guess I’m still in the hungry part of the fast – hoping that will ease up a bit tomorrow!
Anyway, totally yum, and thank you Mellissa!

STEPHANIE ROMER says
So simple and tasty! Don’t miss the real thing with this recipe. This is a go-to for me, and I recommend it to friends interested in keto.
★★★★★
Esther A says
Such a genius idea! I’ve used these “noodles” a number of times, not only for the main recipe but they are awesome for lasagna and even to add to soup just before serving. Wonderful~!
★★★★★
Gail says
I made a double batch of the fettuccine and baked it in a 9×13, rolled it up from the 13” side, rolled it into a sheet of waxed paper, and stuck it in the fridge for two days. Then I heated up some leftover pulled pork, with extra broth so there would be plenty of sauce. I cut the fettuccine crosswise, tidied up the rings, and ran the knife through once, lengthwise: 1 – 1-1/2” noodles. Once the pork was thoroughly heated, I dumped the noodles in and stirred gently – no breakage or crumbling.
Best chili-mac I’ve had since keto!
Now I’m thinking about pesto …
Jess says
Amazing

Therese LePage says

I knew this would be good, Mellissa, because of all the great reviews… But I was totally unprepared for the reality. :-) It is an amazingly fabulous recipe, and so very easy!! I love you! And I’m not even doing an egg fast LOL

I love this recipe…It is so amazingly good for any meal, not just the egg fast. In fact, all the egg fast recipes are good.
★★★★★
Joanne says
This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. My kids ask for it ALL the time, ans they hate keto recipes! The down side is it’s a little bit more fussy work than I like on a weeknight, but it’s totally worth it!
★★★★★
Joan Janzen says
I am getting ready to make this wonderful dinner. I know this is crazy..but.. why can’t the recipe be set up to be printed out on only one piece of paper rather than 2? Is is possible? I have tried everything. It is set up this way on most recipes. I had one gal fix it and it worked for printing out on one page. thanks for hearing me out!!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’m not sure, I will look into the settings and see if there is something I can change on my end for that to work!
Gini says
My pasta came out like omelette…what did I do wrong? 😣 Did I overcook it?

★★★★★
Laura says
I used parchment paper and used a Ghee buttery spray I have. I added a minute to the cooking time but I think I could have added one more minute for al dente bite. It rolled easily and cut easily. I may try for thinner noodles next time but overall I was still very happy with the meal!
★★★★★
Kylee says
Am I able to use cream cheese instead of mascarpone? I don’t have any..
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes, you can use cream cheese instead.
Hot Pasta Helena says
I’ve seen many of these pour ‘n bake noodle recipes and tried one but the pasta was cold after drying & with no directions for reheating, my grated zucchini and haloumi chilli pasta wasn’t appealing. I’ve seen posts adding these noodles to soup so they must be able to hold their shape in hot liquid. Why are there no instructions for reheating? Especially after thawing. Any ideas please? I don’t have a microwave.
Thankyou!
August says
This recipe saved my egg fast! I was on day 5 and starting to get realllly cranky and over it and was like let me finish the night off with this recipe and we will see. HOLY MOLY did it fulfill me! It really helped push me into day 6 (transition thank goodness). I had to add an additional 5 minutes to my “pasta” bake time. I also added about another tbsp of mascarpone cheese to the sauce. It really does taste like Alfredo!
Cheryl says
I’ll admit as it came out of the oven (and it took about 20 minutes for mine to cook) I had low expectations. I was making fettuccine Alfredo for the fam…and I was eating “eggs”. BUT y’all! This was so delicious and hit the spot soooo much! Does it taste like pasta? No. But did it hit the noodle feel with sauce , absolutely!!! I’ve been doing keto a while and am so thrilled to have found this recipe! Totally works! I’ll be making this again without a doubt!
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yay! So happy to hear this!
Cyerra says
This was so good! It’s of course different but so good especially for an egg fast when your tired of eggs! Sauce is also very good!
★★★★★
Annraya says
Oh my goodness, I never leave posts but I just made this and was so surprised that it tasted as good as it did (meaning it’s gone so no photo lol). What a delightful change for the egg fast. If there’s foods like this for egg fast I’m sure I can stay on it for 3-5 days lol. Thank you so much for posting this.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks Annraya, so happy you enjoyed it!
Faiqa says
I’ve made it for the first time tonight.
Couldn’t find mascarpone at the local store, so used it the other way. Super delicious and easy. I’ve started my egg fast today and I loved it. Was a bit hungry though on the portion sizes But still trying. Hope I get into ketosis soon. Thanks mellisa.
Sarah says
Is the egg fast printed in book form or did you have to write everything down, including the recipes?
Cyara says
Hi!! I have made this recipe SO many times and I have been obsessed since finding it, so thank you SO much for that!!!
Recently, my grocery store and local walmart stopped carrying mascarpone 😧 i see you mention subbing cream cheese/heavy cream when not on an egg fast and am wanting to try that. But I’m unsure.. should I soften cream cheese? Heat them once mixed together? I’m not much of a cook and rely heavily on recipes so I’m hoping for more direction on how to make just as great a dish with those as it was with mascarpone!!!
★★★★★
Kelly says
This is absolutely delicious! I’ve made it several times now. Thank you so much for the recipe!
★★★★★
Kathy says
I LOVE this recipe. Its so delicious and filling, and a nice change from scrambled & fried eggs on an egg fast! I use a large non stick fry pan for the noodles, sprayed with olive oil or avocado oil first, then I cover it with a lid for a few minutes on medium-low. This way I don’t have to turn on the oven! And it never sticks! Thanks!
★★★★★
Caitlin says
This recipe is a winner. I love that the texture of the noodles is soft like pasta and the sauce was wonderful. I doubled this recipe and used a silpat for the noodles and they rolled right up. I would recommend using a sheet pan if you double the recipe.
Chelsea Teodoro says
Ok so! I have tried this both ways because I rarely have mascarpone in the house. For the first time tonight, however, I finally used it instead of the alternative way (with cream cheese and cream), and it was WAAAAY more delicious with mascarpone. The sauce with the cream cheese is still very yummy, but it’s much much heavier and seems like too much sauce to me. The ‘pasta’ in this is ingenious, although it isn’t very pasta-like. It gets the job done and I found it to be much more enjoyable with the lighter mascarpone sauce. Great recipe thanks!!!!
★★★★★
Lauren Gonzalez says
what too/spatula did you all use to remove the eggs? i could not get the “noodles” out in one sheet to save my life :( still tasted amazing
Lauren says
What magic tool/pan combination did everyone use because I cannot for the life of me get the “noodles“ out of the baking dish still tastes amazing though
Mellissa Sevigny says
Try lining the pan with foil first and then it will lift right out.
Mindy says
Yum! I used a little fresh garlic as I don’t have garlic salt. Added loads of cracked pepper at the end (because I love it 🤤).
So good the kids kept trying to steal it off me.
I’m going to make this after I’ve finished the egg fast with spinach or broccoli and mushrooms.
New fave! Thanks Melissa x
★★★★★
Renee C says
I made this tonight as part of my egg fast….this was very tasty and it’s going into my rotation. It’s recipes like these that will enable me to stick to this.
Thank you
Lily says
My Mom and I are doing an egg fast together to get back into keto. I made this for us night before last, and will make it again tonight! What a fun and delicious meal. I made the pasta batter in one batch, but split it into two pie plates to bake (it took a few minutes longer and the round shape isn’t ideal for noodles but it worked just fine) and heated the sauce in the two bowls we ate out of.
I used an ounce of cream cheese and a tablespoon of heavy cream in place of the mascarpone, because I don’t have mascarpone! It was delicious, and for me personally heavy cream is fine on an egg fast.
★★★★★
Chelsea says
Pro tip! If you double the recipe, double your pan size for the noodles. 🤪
Teresa says
Haha. I realized this when it was still cooking. Took 19 minutes. Still tastes good, really thick though.
Tanisha says
I can’t get the “noodles” to set. Baked for 8 minutes and let it set 5, tried rolling and it was still liquid. Put back in oven for 5 more minutes still liquidy. Trying more time…
Molly says
Sooo good! Super easy and that sauce is delicious! I’ll be adding this to my “favorites”!!
★★★★★
Sam says
Has anyone tried to make the “noodles” ahead if time and reheat?
If so- how were they?
Niki says
Delicious! Considering it was eggs on eggs on cheese on cheese, it was really good, and a great way to end Day 5 of my egg fast experiment. It’s obviously not pasta – it’s as close to pasta as cauliflower rice is to white rice – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t tasty. Thanks Melissa 🙂

Brighteyes says
OMGOODNESS!! This is a total game changer! This recipe is brilliant!! It came out perfect & I made it exactly as written. This is my 3rd day on the egg fast and tomorrow I weigh-in. First day I lost 4lbs. Yesterday almost 3lbs. Totally pumped!!
★★★★★
Trudy says
OMG, soooo delicious! And so easy to make.
I did the cream cheese and cream sauce, as I’m not doing the egg fast, and I added spinach, mushrooms and bacon. So good! Definitely will do this again. Thank you!!
★★★★★
Shannon says
Not sure how I messed this up so badly. The “pasta” was to fluffy and stuck to the baking dish. Ended up just using them like scrambled eggs. I didn’t have mascarpone so I used cream cheese and the sauce was the consistency of marshmallow fluff… maybe to much parmesan. I had to add a lot more liquid to get there right creamy texture.
Given all the great reviews I’ll definitely try it again.
Nancy Lowell says
Have you tried using a larger pan and baking a shorter tim but getting a thinner “noodle “?
Deborah Lorraine says
My question too, when scaling up.
Nyala says
Would this recipe hold up in a low carb lasagna? Thanks!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes, have done that many times!
Donna says
Thank You Soooo Much for this Amazingly Delicious Fettuccini!!! I’ve been doing the egg fast for 4 days I needed something that tasted like something besides eggs! It really hit the spot. I’ll be making this again!!!
Very Yummy 🥰

Mellissa Sevigny says
So glad you enjoyed them Donna!
Laura T says
I’ve made this recipe several times and love it. Today I was in a bit of a hurry, so I made up the sauce and poured it into a 2 eggs only omelette. took less than 5 minutes. Delicious. Next time I would season it up with some garlic powder and pepper.

Alicia says
Ah-Maze-ing!
When I saw how simple this recipe was, I thought for sure it would have very little flavor. Boy was I wrong! Creamy, tasty and so satisfying. Thank you for this!

I am wondering if the “pasta” would hold up to baking. Im looking for a Keto pasta to make noodle kugel (pudding) for Rosh Hashanna. Anyone??

Oh.My.Gosh! this was just too good. Thanks for the hard work you put into your recipes, this one is a winner. I really enjoyed it & yes I may or may not have licked to bowl. The egg fast works great for me, 2nd time around, lost a good amount both times. now I’ll do the soup diet again cause that soup is really good. I think I could live on these 2 plans!
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
That’s awesome Kathy, thanks so much!
Angela says
was a delicious dish but I made and ate before adding my macros and oh no the mascarpone alone was over 4 grams carbs and the dish put me way over fat and calories really gutted as this was my last meal on the egg fast so I fear it’s blown…….. Lesson learned always put in macros before making Also only 1 choice of this mascarpone at my supermarket and I’ve never heard of it before so I might have to shop around for a more keto friendly one
★★★★
Laura T says
I found that the macros don’t really work out too well on the egg fast as the fat ratio is 1T to 1 Egg. You would have to have a lot of cheese to put you over 20gm carbs. On the egg fast, I try to have at least one of my meals without cheese and seem to lose more.
Ash says
This was sooo good!
★★★★★
Bee says
Can you clarify? on your egg fast meal plan and FAQ’s page where you list this as a meal, you say not to have heavy whipping cream in your coffee. However mascarpone cheese in this recipe is heavy whipping cream with citric acid. That seems contradictory.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Mascarpone cheese is a pure fat, heavy whipping cream is not. That’s like saying the plan allows for cheddar cheese but not milk which cheese is made from. No heavy whipping cream on this plan for best results.
Jen says
AMAZING!! This was so good and I can’t wait to make it again! This will become a regular for us!
★★★★★
Tammy says
This was delicious. My “noodles” stuck to the pan, so they didn’t look like noodles, but it didn’t matter once I put them in the delicious sauce. I’m not doing an egg fast, but I thought I’d try it for a quick meal for one. Loved it!
★★★★★
RRuhl says
Mine stuck a bit too so I cut them up in the baking dish. They were easier to scrape out then and I scraped them right into the sauce. AMAZINGLY GOOD!
Kayleigh Duggan says
Oh. My. God. I made this on dinner of day 2 of my egg fast and I honestly feel like I will just make this every night for the next 4 days! HOLY WOW it was good! I didn’t have marscapone so I just used 2 oz. cream cheese and 2 Tbs butter and it was perfect. Added a good bit of pepper, a dash of garlic powder and a splash of lemon juice to the sauce and it was hard to not lick the bowl. THANK YOU for this recipe, it will forever SAVE my egg fasts!!!

April Adams says
I was skeptical making this. And its not the prettiest but it tastes amazing! This is saving mr on my egg fast!

Omg that was delicious! Thank you!
★★★★★
Kayleigh says
I don’t know what I did wrong, but my noodles were disgusting ?
Melissa says
Mine stuck to the pan, even though I greased it pretty well. I wound up scraping it out of the pan and chopping it up. It tasted like scrambled eggs with cheese. Meh.
Mellissa Sevigny says
The easiest way to get it out of the pan is to line the pan with parchment paper or foil first.
Elizabeth says
I’m hoping this will taste better than the sauce cooks up. I had it in the microwave for the first 30-second stint and 10 seconds in, it exploded all over everywhere. I just spent 15+ minutes cleaning out all the cheese from the nooks and crannies of my microwave. :(
Pat says
OMG! This was amazing! I admit I was skeptical when I took the “pasta” out of the oven. It did appear eggy. HOWEVER, I followed the recipe and cut it into pasta and it was AMAZING! I’m not sure how anyone can mess the sauce up. Super easy. I did have to cook the “pasta” for an extra minute or two. I doubled the sauce because I’m a sauce girl, but I really didn’t need to. I’m almost embarrassed to say (but not really) that I licked the bowl to get all of the sauce.
I too, miss pasta. I’ll eat the spaghetti squash and zoodles (no shirataki noodles for this girl!), but those don’t compare to the recipe here.
I HIGHLY recommend this recipe.
Mimi says
Hi – i tried making this tonight but my sauce didn’t turn out.It was a clump of cheese mixture in butter. I followed the recipe as written, what did i miss?
Now the noodles were wonderful and I did mix it with my butter-cheese clumped sauce and it was very good. I’ll make it again,but need to know what I didn’t do right with the sauce.
btw – I’m really enjoying the Egg fast and plan to follow your 12-week menu plan after another week of the egg fast.
Thanks!
Sue B says
I was so sceptical about this recipe and now I am in love. This was so quick and simple, a perfect single serving, and absolutely delicious. I can have pasta!!! Thank you!!!!

Hannah says
I am so excited to try the keto pasta! And I could definitely use an install for my Keto Journey
Cat says
I’m not doing the egg fast and I didn’t make the Alfredo, but these egg noodles are to die for! One of the things I have missed most since going Keto was pasta. I have missed bolognese sauce with pasta. I saw this recipe and did a major happy dance, with fingers crossed that these egg noodles would work. So, I made the bolognese and let it simmer for most of the day, still crossing my fingers that the “pasta” would work. OMG! This was so yummy!!! I doubled the recipe and used a 13×9 pan, lined with parchment paper sprayed with avocado oil. This was the perfect amount to feed 3 people, to rave reviews I might add. The only issue I had was that the ends of the pan didn’t cook as fast as the center. I ended up cutting off an inch and a half of uncooked noodles from one end. Other than that…best keto friendly sub for pasta ever! Thank you so much for giving me back my pasta. Now I can’t wait to try your Alfredo sauce!
John @ MyKetoPartner says
This was a hit in my house. Added this as a regular in rotation. Thanks for sharing this!

Trina Lyles says
WOW!!! I just made this for my daughter and I to eat for lunch and IT. WAS. AMAZING!!! I did let the pasta cook a little longer, thanks to other comments and I doubled the sauce recipe, but don’t really think I needed to do that. It was so rich and creamy!! We added some grilled chicken to ours, as well. My 14 year old daughter said this is her new favorite and she wants to learn how to make it herself :-) Thank you for such a great recipe!

Lana says
Absolutely love this! Second time doing egg fast. First time was during a stall out I had. This time I am doing it to kick start getiing healthy again, as I gained all my weight back after slowly going back to my old ways ?. Yesterday morning I felt god awful, but persevered through made this for dinner and it was so good I made another helping! Day four now and I was down 6 lbs! Thanks for you great recipies!
★★★★★
Steini Pe says
This was perfect, I cooked mine at 175°c for 8-9 ish minutes, just kept watching until they set, after that I took them out and since i greased the pan quite a bit it never stuck, after 3-4 minutes they rolled up like a carpet!. Reminded me a bit on those “butter rolls”, anyway cut them in fine length and while this was all cooking I made the sauce, I did the sauce like I always do it, butter, heavy whipping cream, parmesan cheese, basil leaves and a bit of pepper and salt.. when the noodles came out the sauce was ready and I poured the sauce over the eggs on the plate.. Next time I am going to add chicken, it may be low in fat but I love the protein it gives me and Keto is high fat ,moderate protein and low carb. Im happy with that, maybe add champion mushroom also, I think it will all go down nicely.. Funny how you can actually make good food that fits your criteria… next up, need to figure out a Doritos substitute for a weekend snack with some Creamcheese, Salsa, sauce.. then we’re in business.. great recipe!
Joy says
Quest and also Hilo make great “taco” flavored protein chips that are very similar to Doritos and are both sold at Walmart!
Mira says
Noodles were not cooked in 8 minutes; put in microwave to finish. When they were done, they reminded me of scrambled eggs cooked flat. If they had contained sharp cheddar, they would have been more palatable. Not something I’ll make again. And, I laughed when I saw the description about the Alfredo Sauce; I have never made an Alfredo Sauce with flour in my life. It’s made with butter, heavy cream and cheese. You can add fresh basil, hot pepper and minced garlic if you want, but the sauce never contains flour. While I’ve liked many of your recipes,this did not cut it for me.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Fair enough, since I laughed when I read your comment. Just because YOU’VE never made the Alfredo sauce with a flour roux Bechamel style, doesn’t mean it’s not done by anyone. For example Geoffrey Zakarian. Maybe you’ve heard of him. Here’s his recipe. Also, rushing the noodles in the microwave will absolutely make them tough – cheddar or not. In fact I specifically say in the post that they don’t reheat in the microwave well because it makes them tough, so I recommended making them fresh. And since ovens vary, I specifically said in the instructions to bake for 8 minutes OR UNTIL JUST SET. Not rush it in the microwave and ruin the entire dish. I’m sorry this one “didn’t cut it for you”, but based on the majority of rave reviews from others, you may want to consider that my recipe isn’t the problem here.
Cammi says
Well said, Melissa!
Lisa says
I just made the recipe and I was impressed with the consistency of the eggs for the noodle and the flavor of the sauce and I’m Italian and all I did was follow the recipe!! I will definitely make again!
Thank you!!
★★★★★
Alice says
Then you’ve never made real alfredo sauce. Real alfredo sauce starts with a classic french bechamel, which contains flour. You made an American cheese sauce.
Susan says
Actually, real Alfredo sauce as first created by Alfredo for his pregnant wife is one part each of cream, butter and Parmesan. Pretty close to this.
Kelly Spencer says
This recipe is phenomenal! I love love love it!
★★★★★
Kimberly says
I followed this recipe EXACTLY and 8 minutes didn’t seem long enough. My noodles were still very uncooked and soupy. Any suggestions? Is really love to try them again.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Could be a variation in your oven, just cook them until firm next time!
Kara says
Soooo tasty!!!! Thank you!!!
Sarahdawn says
This turned out great for me. I cooked the noodles in the toaster oven and after 8 minutes it was done. They did stick to the metal pan at first, but by letting them cool for a few minutes it loosened up and came out easily. Although I did end up cutting it in the pan rather than rolling it. I cooked the sauce on the stove because my son gets sick eating food that has been microwaved. Over medium heat, I let everything melt and then whisked it together until smooth. Tastes great, very filling and was so fast and simple to make! Love it ~ Thank you, Mellissa! <3
Susan Hawthorne says
This recipe is amazing! And, I even messed up the pasta. We are in the tail end of kitchen cabinet replacement, so I couldn’t find my true 8×8 pan and used a 8×8 plan with sloped sides so the bottom was probably 7×7. I used the greased parchment paper. After 8 minutes it was completely done. After 5 minutes I thought, maybe. When I rolled it up to cut, I saw the insides still needing more cooking and the roll stuck together. I think the thicker ‘pasta’ made a big difference. I was eager so I ate it as it was, and it was amazing! Like regular fett. alfredo, the star is the sauce and the ‘pasta’s’ job is to not be distracting, and this pasta did that.
This is the first Keto recipe I’ve tried. I think the next few will be the egg recipes here. I’m not doing the egg fast, but we have chickens and I like eggs.

Kim says
Hi! I made this recipe tonight, using the alternative sauce. It was AMAZING! And filling. I did have to tweak my oven temp a little to get the eggs to completely cook through, after a couple attempts 335 for 8 mins was spot on. Will def be making this often, thank you!!
Hannah Knudsen says
I’m on day 3 of my egg fast and this recipe. Omg. I licked the bowl. That sauce is delicious and will definitely be making it again! Thank you!

CraftyMrsG says
I would have never guessed that my low carb pancake recipe would make egg noodles! Definitely going to try this, thank you!
Michelle says
Sorry to say that this recipe did not turn out for me at all – or at least consistency wise.It was tasty and really good but looked nothing like yours. I baked the eggs even 2 minutes longer and still, the middle was wet and soggy. Since I don’t own a microwave, I heated up the sauce on the stove and it turned out dry and more like a paste.
Marica says
Hi Mellissa. I couldn’t find Mascarpone cheese so I made it with Cream Cheese. How come there is 1 oz Mascarpone. But in the alternative version there is 2 oz cream cheese?
Loved the result anyway!!!!
Ioana says
I never had the courage to go on an egg fast but with this recipe, you got me a boost to start the fast as soon as possible. I really want to see how my body reacts :).
Kasey Edwards says
Is it 2 net carbs also of it is jist the noddles?
Sonya says
I’m on day 5 and surprisingly I’m not sick of eggs, haha! Thanks so much for all these recipes! I’m down 3.8 pounds after stalling a bit (I’ve been on keto for about 5 weeks now I think), not as big of a weight loss as I wanted, but I’ll take it! I’m down 18.2 pounds, almost halfway to my goal of 40. Thanks again for making these plans available, you’re a genius!
Erin says
I love this recipe, even when I am not on an egg fast. I started adding a pinch of Italian seasoning to the “pasta” and it really kicked it up a notch. Even my very picky 8-year-old loves this!
Amanda says
I do not understand the whole rolling/unrolling of the pasta. Could you please elaborate? I am looking forward to making this tonight and might try to skip that part, simply cutting from the pan if I can. TIA!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Amanda you can cut from the pan if you prefer – I find that taking it out whole and rolling it produces a thinner, more uniform pasta like look but it will taste the same either way so do whatever is easiest for you!
Wendy says
She doesn’t mean rolling as in rolling out a dough. She means take out the square of egg mix after it’s baked and roll it up like cinnamon rolls or a fruit roll-up. Make your slices, then unroll each noodle.
Amanda says
Just made this and wow! I want another serving… on day two of an egg fast after falling off the wagon, this is going to be made a lot in my home. Thank you for sharing :)
Jodi says
If you eat 20 carbs or less a day you are guaranteed to be in ketosis. No need to even bother with those inaccurate test stripes. I don’t understand why people torture themselves with egg fasts. If you monitor your calories then you can break stalls in weight loss. That is true on any kind of diet plan. Plus stalls are normal. Weight loss doesn’t go straight down. I lost 42lbs and no egg fasts at all. 1300 calories a day works fine, plus I needed all my calories as protein to keep cravings away and eggs just don’t have enough. Chicken breast is your best friend on a diet. I would love to try these noodles though. Noodles and chicken breast with the sauce. That would be good. Oh and some mushrooms. ;-) Thanks for recipe.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Chicken breast is high protein and low fat – actually NOT your best friend on the keto diet. Thanks for your two cents, but just because your experience has been that calorie reduction works doesn’t mean that everyone’s will. The egg fast works for a lot of people including myself. That’s just a fact.
Amanda says
@Jodie – Calorie counting doesn’t work for me, ketosis does. LCHF simplifies it too because I can go out to eat or go to a BBQ without being overly concerned about what the food was cooked in/with since these things can drastically differ and really throw off a calorie count. I personally am using the egg stall to recover from my week of vacation where I decided to indulge where I desired. I just want to jump ahead to where I left off.
Lou Ann says
This one will become a regular in our household. My husband has been battling high blood sugar with a low carb diet and he’s amazed by this recipe. I made the alternate sauce and added some cooked broccoli and chicken. He’s in love! Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Lou Ann, glad you guys are enjoying it!
Heather says
I made this last night and wasn’t that happy with it, I subbed a little cream cheese and monterey jack because I was almost out of cream cheese. I went to the store today and got the mascarpone cheese. OH MY! I am in Heaven! This is now my favorite dish!
★★★★★
Nicholette says
Are you kidding me!!! This is absolutely amazing ! As others have commented I definitely licked the bowl… judge me I don’t care! I can’t wait to make this again!
Lisa says
I used the noodle part of the recipe to make savory crepes, they turned out excellent! Just fry in butter in a pan.. used then on day 6 to make quesadillas… yum!
★★★★★
Terri K says
Made this tonight. OMG it was sooooooo good, although it looked nothing like your pics, my noodles were very eggy yellow and just ugly looking but it tasted so good who cares!!!LOL I also made a double batch and ate the whole thing. That must be a really tiny bowl in your picture to make it look like so much ;) Will definitely be making this again thanks!!!
★★★★★
Katie says
OH! To.Die.For.
I licked the fork…the plate…my lips….just THAT good!
Cheers and thanks soooo much for this recipe!

David says
Not sure what the issue is with heavy whipping cream, but somehow butter is good? Do you know the difference? Have you ever made butter?
Mellissa Sevigny says
After you finish making butter you are left with buttermilk – which has 12g carbs per cup. There are more carbs, proteins and sugars in heavy cream than in butter. Heavy whipping cream is around 36% butter fat. Butter is 82% butter fat. It’s considered almost pure fat because the rest is water and about 2% milk solids. HWC is not. Use it or don’t, but to do the egg fast as the egg fast was intended, we don’t use HWC.
Beth says
Well done Melissa! I truly appreciate what you do. I have used many of your fantastic recipes along my journey. This hearty meal completes my 5 day egg fast. I followed your meal plan which made it quite easy. Thanks again!!!
★★★★★
JB Long says
Looks wonderful! I have used heavy whipping cream on the egg fast as well as on keto. I am in the middle of an egg fast now and after 2 days had lost 3lbs. I don’t notice any difference from when I was using keto without cream. That being said, everyone is different. What works for me may not work for others. However, I have lost ~100lbs on a ketogenic diet and have about 40 to go to reach goal!
Kristen says
Wow! I’m so glad I found this recipe. I made it today (day 1 of an egg fast). It is incredible! Thank you.
Xavier says
Thanks for the great recipe! Really rich and delicious, and great for keto.
The “pasta” on its own tastes essentially like a weird omelette (as you’d expect) but once you mix it with the sauce it works well.
I may have blended the “pasta” too much before cooking it though, as it broke apart somewhat as i tried to lift it from the pan.
I added cream and a little bit of colby to the sauce, and put fresh garlic into the sauce instead of powered in the “pasta”. The result was delicious.
I’m sure I’ll be making this again sometime!
Coryelle says
Anyone tried subbing ricotta for the marscapone?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Ricotta will have a much higher carb content than mascarpone, making it not suitable for the egg fast and probably not as creamy and it may separate in the sauce.
Maribel says
Fantastic recipe, I added some nutmeg and found it positively perfect. Thank you for convincing this former cook that low carb cooking is much more adventurous and delicious than initially thought.
★★★★★
Michele says
I can’t wait to try this!
Lynette says
Tried this recipe for the first time this week, although I have done the egg fast before. Wanted a change from the pancakes (which are delicious!). I didn’t have Marscapone so I used ricotta. It was SO good! Can you eat it more than once a day? Thanks for all your hard work coming up with recipes, you are a life saver.
★★★★★
Rose c says
Someone told me when the strips are dark, you’re actually dehydrated
Sonya says
That’s very interesting. Since I started the egg fast, I’ve been trying to up my water consumption to 100 oz a day, and I noticed that my keto strips have lightened to “moderate”, which totally confused me. This makes me feel better!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Not sure. If you’re following the recipe exactly and your measurements are correct, then it’s possible that your oven is just a little cooler and you need to cook them longer. Or if you are using a smaller pan than I was and they are thicker, the solution would also be to cook them a little longer. Otherwise I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t set up. Hope you are able to get it to work!
Lyb says
Seriously phrnomonal!! My husband couldn’t believe the ingredients. Will be making this again.
Cheryl Wiley says
Super yum! Day 5 of the egg fast and doing great! Hubby is down 8 lbs and 7 for myself. Btw…I have used about 1/2 a teaspoon of half and half in my coconut oil coffee every morning…then 2 more cups through out the day (no coconut oil) so its working ok for me and still losing. Thank you so much for all your hard work and wonderfully easy great tasting recipes!

do you think the noodle dough would work if I replaced the cheese with thick coconut cream?
Katherine Bridgeman says
This is totally crazy! Crepes AND “pasta” you are some kind of wizard!
Nomna says
This turned out perfect for me, but you definitely need the parchment paper otherwise it may stick. I baked it slightly longer, like you said, until set. Delicious!
Annie says
I am not on the ketone diet but this recipe still sounds delicious and I really want to try it.what it be OK if I substituted the MCT oil for Olive oil ? If not, I also have a jar of pure, unrefined coconut oil
Mary says
Tried this for the first time today. Thank you for giving the alternative alfredo recipe as well. Absolutely delicious and so easy!

Lani Kroemer says
Do you think the noodle might work in Chicken Noodle Soup?
Erica says
I was very wary of this recipe. It had been in my egg fast file for a long while, but I had avoided it. I wasn’t sure how it would come out taste-wise and texture-wise, but I decided to try it out. Holy crap, it was so yummy! Thanks so much for coming up with these awesome recipes!
Roseann says
I don’t know why I didn’t find this 2 years ago but I sure am glad I found this recipe now!! I had no problem making the noodles and they were satisfying and delicious. I don’t have the ingredients for the alfredo sauce, but will definitely get them next shopping trip. I had some shredded chicken with veggies and topped the noodles with that. DELICIOUS!!!
In my old oven, I baked them for 10 minutes and they were perfect.
This is also perfect for someone like me on a very tight budget!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

LowCarbCake says
I’m looking to start a youtube channel talking about my low carb lifestyle and want to talk about recipes that I try. May I mention this recipe if I link back to you in the description?
Lori says
Wow! Amazing recipe. Thanks SO much. Made the egg fast yesterday much more pleasant. Day 1 done – down 2 lbs.
Leanna says
I am on day two of the fast and I made the fettuccine Alfredo, and boy was it good. I have avoided making any faux noodles or pancakes out of just eggs and cream cheese out of fear of it being disgusting, but I have to say I was wrong, I have been missing out. I cooked it on med-low on the stove in a nonstick pancake griddle. It was so easy. I can’t wait to try the snickerdoodle crepes. I have a question and please don’t tar and feather me in case it was already asked I searched the “FAQ” and didn’t see it. How often can the egg fast be done once a month or less, will it become ineffective of it done too often? Keep up the good work you are a godsend.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Some people do it once a week until they reach their goal – not sure if it loses effectiveness over time, but it would be different for each person I think!
L.V.D says
I have to say, I was just about ready to call it quits on the diet until the ALFREDO! I didn’t think it would taste good, I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it right. Then I thought, go ahead, give it a shot. I did it!
Start to finish was 10 minutes. I am in shock! Easy, looks just like your photo does. The taste? Let’s just say I’ll never make any other kind of Alfredo again! Ever. And won’t my family be shocked when I make it for them and tell them it’s practically carb free! Thank you for the great recipes. This diet has been wonderful!
Mariah says
Oh my I found your website and have been using it without commenting but had to comment on this! It was soo good Could barely tell it wasnt even noodles! My oven i had to cook longer than 8 minutes but it actually started rise so i took it out when it did that and it settled and popped out of the pan just fine. Didnt have the mascarpone so did the cream cheese and heavy cream with just shakey grated parm cheese and it was ridiculously good! Last year I lost 30 lbs on lchf and then went back to eating anything and gained 10-15 of it back. Ive been doing lchf for a month now and only lost 5 of it, my body definitely did not react like it did last year-my first month last year was 15 of the 30 lbs, so im hoping more eggs less meat will help! Thank you so much for the recipes-i want to throw up eating plain hard boiled eggs so I need these recipes lol

OMG!!!! The absolute BEST LCHF recipe around. I made this the other day and my husband and I added grilled chicken, crumbled bacon and sautéed mushrooms on it. WOW! THANK YOU!! BTW, I want to make a low carb pad thai, do you think these noodles would work? I dislike shiritaki noodles.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
I think you could make a pad thai work Julie just be careful stirring it since the noodles are a bit fragile – let me know if it works out and I might try it too! Glad you guys enjoyed the recipe and thanks for letting me know! :)
Lorna says
Let me start by saying I have never once commented on a recipe, no matter how good, but I HAD to comment on this one. I just wolfed down the whole bowl, licked it clean and could easily eat another. This was freaking fantastic!! You’re a genius!! This is going to make the egg fast possible. I will use more butter next time bc I did have trouble getting the noodles out but I just sliced them in the pan then used a spatula to scrape them out. Love, love, love!!!!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Lorna! I’m honored to be your first and I’m so glad you liked this recipe! It’s definitely my favorite on the egg fast and it’s saved me from cheating many times!!!
LadyBelle says
I am having a little trouble getting the egg “pasta” to firm up, but the sauce is amazing. I had to do the cream cheese alternative because mascarpone here is expensive and harder to get.

Kyndra Holley says
Mellissa, you knocked it out of the park with this one. We had it for dinner tonight. The sauce was so, so, good!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Kyndra – I’m super flattered that you tried it and liked it! :)
Dylan says
I ran out of Parmesan so I made the sauce with a mild cheddar instead. Also, cooked the ‘pasta’ in a pan on a very low heat with a lid instead of oven cooking – came out fantastic and I’ll be having again tomorrow. It makes eggs almost palatable :)
Sarah says
Melissa I will give you 1 million theoretical dollars if you made a video making this! It would SO helpful.
Also…..you’re a food genius. <3
Mary says
I made the alternative sauce since I didn’t have mascarpone. It was awesome! We had baked chicken thighs wrapped in bacon and smothered them w/ this sauce.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sounds fantastic Mary, wish I had some right now! :)
Teresa says
This was delicious! I’m on day 1 and decided to give this a try. It was too much to eat all at once, though, so will finish it later.
Allyce says
This may have saved my egg fast! Almost to the end of day three and I was getting sick of eggs faster than I had originally anticipated. Made this and it was SO. GOOD. I wanted to lick the bowl. Okay I licked the bowl. Was so tempted to make it and eat it all over again. Okay I made it and ate it again right after. Looking forward to trying this with other things added once the 5 day fast is done. You are a genius! Thank you!
Oh, I never even attempted to roll mine. I just flipped it out onto a chopping board and cut the noodles that way. Worked perfectly.
Michele says
I would love to try these, but what is MTC oil?
Mellissa Sevigny says
MCT oil stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides and it is usually a derivative of coconut oil. You can use just coconut oil in place of it though, it will just have a slight coconut flavor whereas the MCT oil is tasteless. Hope that helps!
Michele says
Thank you for explaining. :) I have coconut oil, cold pressed, refined, so it doesn’t smell/taste like coconut… Will that be fine?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes, that will work great Michele!
Sam says
I meant to say the same amount of 1 oz?
LC says
Do you think these could be cut into wide strips and used for low carb lasagna?
Sam says
Can I use whipped creamcheese for this recipe? If I do should I use the same amount of 2 oz?
Sherry says
I have made this recipe two nights in a row now. It’s amazing. Night one I just made the noodles. I served them under sugar free pizza sauce, cooked diced chicken breast and Parmesan cheese.
Tonight I stopped at to he store to purchase the maarscapone cheese. Oh how I love the sauce. I added more garlic and pepper. I served it with chicken breast and broccoli and cauliflower.
The noodles. The sauce. So delish!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It’s a perfect way to get my extra protein after a workout. And it’s so versatile. I might try the noodles under beef stroganoff next!
Sally says
I made just the sauce x 4 using cream cheese instead of mascarpone-adding about 1/4 cup cashew milk to thin it out a bit, some nutmeg and black pepper. Then I stirred it into 8oz of sauteed shiitake mushrooms and previously roasted chicken breast that was sliced- stirred all together til all hot. Then to the plates- some sliced toasted almond on top and served with grilled asparagus on the side. Excellent!
Also I don’t own s microwave so I had made the sauce on the range in a small stainless pot, heating it slowly and carefully. Adding theill really brought all the ingredients together.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sounds fantastic Sally! If you’re doing keto though I would caution using mushrooms with wild abandon (especially shiitakes which are my fave) because they are surprisingly high in carbs. For example 8oz of raw shiitake mushrooms have about 10g of net carbs! Fine if you’re dividing them between a few servings but just be aware of it if you are using them a lot!
Sonja says
I was wondering if plain old chicken broth/boullion would be ok on the egg fast, because he only craving I really have right now is for some egg drop soup. I usually add condiments (a little soy, some sambal, sesame oil) but I’d leave them out and keep it to just broth and swirled eggs, if you think it would fit. If not, I can wait.
Mellissa Sevigny says
It’s really up to you – try it and see how you do!
Jeanetta says
My noodles came out like an omelet. Did I do something wrong? Theybtasted pretty firm, but had the texture of an omelet.
Joy says
I followed your egg fast diet EXACTLY for 5 days and lost 7.49 pounds. I have Put on only 100 grams in week I have been off. So next week I am going to do it again and hope to loose some more weight. Thanks for the recipes , they are delicious. I was never hungry on the program and really did not mind all the eggs like I thought I would.
Deb says
OMG this was wonderful! I have been looking for low carb recipes for my diabetic husband (we’re cutting out all carbs) and this really impressed.
I couldn’t believe it really tasted like a decadent pasta dish. We had this with Chicken & broccoli and we couldn’t finish all of it.
I used a tbsp of butter for the 8X8 pan like you suggested and I just flipped it out onto a cutting board after 10 minutes out of the oven. I used a pizza cutter to cut it into strips.
I can’t wait to make this for my MIL. So clever. Thank you!!!!
I took a picture of it on the cutting board in strips, but couldn’t figure out how to post it here.
Amy says
This looks delish. Can’t wait to try it!! Do you think the “pasta” could be doubled and made in a 13 x 9 pan??
brenda says
The noodles were every bit of the disaster I knew they would be. I scraped the baked product into a pot of homemade soup, ‘rolling up and cutting’ was not even a remote possibility.
Teresa S. says
A video would be great!
Deb says
Yes, please! A video!
Pat says
After 2 failed attempts at this dish, I continue to see rave reviews and wish I could get my “noodles” right. Both times, they disintegrated when I took them out of the pan, with no pliability?? Can you provide any additional tips so I can end up with “pliable” sheets of noodles and enjoy what everyone else seems to love. Thank you.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Not sure what the issue is Pat – one problem could be if they are too airy, the bubbles make them super fragile and they can fall apart. It’s important not to overwhip it and to let the batter rest for a bit before cooking. Also if you overcook them they will be hard and fragile. I should really post a video of how to make these – I’ll see what I can do!
Elizabeth says
Making this now and the pasta is very soft. I tried letting it sit for 5 minutes but it’s still soft. I’ll try putting it back in the over to see if that helps. I don’t want to burn it
Kim says
This is really, really AMAZING! I licked the bowl.
Adrienne says
This was so gosh darn good. Sadly, my entire family LOVED it too. I had to share my one small serving with them. Next time I will definitely make multiple batches. I look forward to trying more of your recipes.
Helena Angelina says
WOW, this recipe blew my socks off – and I wasn’t expecting it! I knew it would be yummy, but I just didn’t expect it to be oh so ..”Stuff mac n cheese, I have my egg fast fettuccini alfredo!”It really hits the spot if you’re craving pasta and cheesey white sauce in a way I hadn’t expected.
Many thanks again Melissa, this one is going to become a staple in my house, egg fast or no egg fast!
Mellissa Sevigny says
You’re welcome Helena, so glad you liked it!
Laura says
I made 4 8×8 pans of “noodles” and used them for lasagna (2 noodles per layer). It was delicious. I highly recommend it.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks Laura, I’ve used it for lasagna too and it works great! Glad you liked it!
MzBaker says
OMG Good Thinking! you can use the same pan you make the squares in after for the lasagna! OHHH Man this is Awesome!!
Sarah says
Omg that is such a good idea!
Nikki Stone (Business) says
YESSS! I was hoping someone had tried this as lasagna noodles! I’m going to try the lasagna idea Sunday for family dinner!
Allison says
This was so good!! I was very skeptical about the noodles. So I made the sauce for some veggies and it was great. Weeks later I made the noodles and was BLOWN AWAY by how great they taste and the noodle-like texture! so so good!! Definitely will make this often!! My noodles had a spot on it that was not 100% set but it was fine. I had to cook the noodles an additional minute or two. I don’t think I left it to sit long enough once out of the oven either.
Lisa says
Just finished this for dinner tonight and day 5 of my egg fast. This recipe…oh this recipe…it is RIDICULOUSLY easy to make, and SOOOOO GOOD!!! You must be a friggin genius! :) I followed your plan to a T. Every single meal and snack has been a treat. I don’t feel smaller (I’ll find out officially tomorrow), but whatever the results the scale says, I have some amazing new recipes to use for lunches, dinners, and breakfasts. And I will be using mascarpone in so many more things than tiramisu now too! LOVE. Thank you!!
Josye says
I am lactose intolerant but I really want to try this great recipe so for the pasta, instead of using cream cheese I used goat cheese and it was so delicious, the texture turned out to be great and so was the flavor. I used goat cheese instead of the mascarpone and the Parmesan cheese and worked just fine. Anyone who enjoys goat cheese would love this adaptation to you great recipe. Thank you!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I love goat cheese Josye, definitely going to try your version, sounds fabulous!!!
Pat says
I am-noodle challenged as well. They turned terrible. Were still runny raw at 8 min so I nuked them and it puffed up too much. The sauce was delish and I ate it but probably won’t try this again anytime soon. Too many other options that I do like.
I’m on my 3rd day of an Egg Fast. I’ve done it twice before and nothing kills my cravings like this Egg Fast. It sure works to get me jump-started.
Thanks.
sharon r says
Thank you so much for all your yummy recipes. I made this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic.
kelly mac says
WHAT????? That is crazy! How could something that sounded so terrible (omelette noodles…) taste SO flippin good? Me thinks you are a genius. Thanks for thinking outside the box to give us some awesome egg fast options. Cause you can only eat so many scrambled eggs, right? :-)
Raquel says
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I’m egg fasting after two weeks of a lot of off-plan eating. This was such a rich, delicious lunch. I think I’ll just have something tiny for dinner!
Gillian says
Hi Melissa,
I stumbled across this on pinterest searching for low carb stuff.
Thank you so much for posting this (and the snicker doodle crepe recipe – that will be breakfast tomorrow).
You’re right the “noodles” are oober finicky, and mine definitely didn’t look like your picture, but it was yummy. :)
Teresa S. says
Very excited to find this recipe! I’m on Keto diet day 10, searching high and low for great recipes. I made two mistakes. First, I used my submersion blender to whip this all up. Bad idea. It caused the final product to be to airy and sponge-like. Second, my pan was just a hair too big, so the “batter” was spread too thin. I think fixing those two errors will give me a wonderful dense noodle. But how happy was I that it didn’t taste like eggs?! lol
Thank you so much!!
Marti Schroeder says
This is a perfect ending for the 5 day egg fast. It was so good I had to read the recipe over twice to make sure I didn’t add an ingredient that I shouldn’t of. This will definitely be a staple in my recipe index. Thank-you thank-you and Thank-you!!!
Mama Owl says
Anyone have suggestions on how to make the noodles for 3 people? I know I can make them one at a time, but the others will cool off by the time I get the last one made. Anyone try doubling or tripling the recipe with success? What size pan did you use? I know I could use 3 separate dishes, but again, I only have 2 that size. Suggestions anyone?????
Karen says
Once you slice up the noodles, place.them in a pan of barely simmering salted water and put a lid on the pan. Add the next batch until you have the desired quantity to serve your family. They noodles will be perfect temperature without over cooking.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Have you actually tried this? Because it seems to me that this type of noodle would just get waterlogged and disintegrate if put in water.
Karen says
Yes. It is the same concept as keeping poached eggs warm. Once the protien is set it won’t absorb any additional water.
KetoinAZ says
I doubled the recipe and cooked in a 9×13 pan. The “noodle” might have been a hair thicker than intended, but it worked great for me. I wonder if you make 4x and cook it on a jelly roll pan?
Also, I used my ceramic cassarole dish with a bit of cooking spray and it came out flawlessly with no effort. I used that same dish to make a baked omlette dish as well. After throwing away two metal pans because the egg was like concrete, ceramic seems to be the way to go to me :)
Diana says
Just made this and it is absolutely AMAZING!
Tabitha says
This turned out PERFECTLY. I can’t believe how noodle-y the noodles were. Thank you!
Karen says
OMG OMG OMG, just made this yum yum yum yum. Added a sprinkle of nutmeg, super yum. That you Melissa!
Hélène says
Wondering how your loss has been keeping in the last few weeks since going off the egg fast?
Have you maintained, lost, or gained?
Thanx for your hard work!

How does the pasta batter keep? (I.E: uncooked in fridge?) I would love to make a larger batch for several days and cook it as I go.
Mellissa Sevigny says
I haven’t tried to keep it but as long as you stir it well before cooking it you should be fine!
Susan says
Wow, that thing really didn’t want to come out of the pan. I did use lots of oil, but oh well, it doesn’t matter. I was the only one looking at it so it didn’t matter if they didn’t look like noodles.
I was surprised that this really didn’t have an eggy taste and the texture was pretty darn good. I didn’t feel like I was eating eggs. To me this makes more sense than shirataki noodles because you actually get nutrition from this instead of empty fiber, so I think I’ll try this with something else. Don’t think it would be good with with marinara sauce, but would be yummy with a cheddar sauce like mac and cheese, I think!
I also think I’ll try to make this on the stovetop in a non stick pan instead, like a crepe. I don’t suppose you tried that already, did you?
Christine Castaneda says
OMG!! I feel like I’m eating pasta! I love it!! Thank you for all your experimenting. You come up with the greatest recipes.
Cynthia Reed says
I returned home today after a busy day out, hot, cranky and not having eaten enough eggs and fat to that point. I was ready to eat ANYTHING (and maybe everything). I remembered this recipe, knew I had marscapone, which was why I had printed the recipe and *voila* not very much later I was enjoying this. Immensely.
Like Claudette, I used parchment in my pan (and buttered the paper), in my case since my no-stick wasn’t quite no-stick anymore. I still rolled it and sliced it; whatever, it was TERRIFIC!
Claudette Melanson says
I had this tonight and it was AMAZING!! I usually use miracle noodles and this was just like the real thing! Just as a tip bake it on parchment paper in the pan that way you can just pull the paper out of the pan and you can cut it with a pizza cutter which eliminates the need to roll it up. I’ll be making this one a lot. You’re a genius girl!
Mihir says
sadly, the noodles failed for me. they tasted fine, but i don’t know if i undercooked/overcooked them or what. any chance of getting a picture of what they look like when they come out of the oven?
on the plus side, the sauce is awesome. i used it on top of grilled chicken thighs. it’s also a great dipping sauce for pork rinds.
Mellissa Sevigny says
What was wrong with the texture Mihir? Too rubbery means overcooked, too mushy means undercooked so it could have been either. It should come out of the oven light yellow, not at all browned, and pliable enough to roll without falling apart. Maybe you did it right and this one just isn’t for you – glad you liked the sauce though!!! :)
Susanne says
Most amazing recipe ever – and I am actually full after eating it!!!
Dawn Miller says
I totally messed this up. I cooked it 10 minutes because it wasn’t done at 8. Let it sit…came out in chunks! Yes I greased it with a LOT of butter…but I didn’t cook it long enough. BUT…I ate EVERY LAST BITE! It was like having alfredo over garlicy scrambled eggs…yet not. Those who say they could only eat half must not have an appetite like mine, because when I had scraped every last bit out of the bowl I so wanted some more. It wasn’t too rich at all..IMO. Another home run, my friend.
Cici says
Do you think the noodles would hold up to a spaghetti sauce?
Mama Owl says
OH! Wondering the same thing! Maybe even chicken “noodle” soup? My family is sooo tired of zucchini!
Diane says
The noodles failed for me, I couldn’t get the “crepe” out of the baking pan in one piece, so next time I will pan fry it.
The sauce was amazing and so easy. I will use it on chicken, broccoli, whatever. It was fantastic.
Mascarpone has never been a staple on my shopping list, but it is now!! I mixed a little up with some s.f. tiramisu syrup (I found at TJ Maxx) and swerve and instant tiramisu!
Mellissa Sevigny says
I used a ton of butter to grease the pan which may have helped Diane, and I don’t think I specified that in the recipe – if you try again, use a full Tbsp to grease it and it should pop right out! And if it’s not firm enough, throw it back in the oven for a minute or two until you can handle it easily!
Diane says
Ok, I will try more next time. Thanks!
Stephanie says
Just made this and yeah, it’s pretty legit.
Kris says
Melissa–I am so stoked!! Egg Fast and I’m down 12.2 pounds!! Whoop-whoop!! Yesterday made a meatloaf with 1 lb ground round, 2 eggs, chopped olives, Parmesan cheese and some sour cream. Probably should have used whipping cream but I need to use up the sour cream. Put my Walden Farms ketchup on top. Ate it for lunch today and it was really good. I didn’t even add any extra salt to the beef. Those olives helped with the flavor too. I can’t believe that something I dreamt up actually tasted good. I’m now more heartened that I can continue to lose weight and I’m in ketosis too!! So overjoyed. Your recipes are inspiring and so easy to put together and of course, EAT!!
Tatti says
I am so going to make this. Will probably put some left over grilled chicken!
Nemours says
Congratulations on your success with the egg fast! There’s no flour in traditional Alfredo sauce – only Parmesan, butter and cream. Some people add flour as a thickener but it’s totally unnecessary. Thanks for your posts.
Stephanie says
This looks really good! I started the egg fast yesterday and am down 2 pounds. That never happens so I am hopeful! Recipes like these will be life savers! Thanks Melissa for sharing!
Jen says
I knew I had to make this as soon as I saw it! It turned out awesome. I replaced the mascarpone with cream cheese and it worked beautifully. It is very rich so I was only able to eat half of it. I will see how it reheats tonight. Thanks for the recipe.
Darlene says
A great big THANK YOU!!!! I love your recipes!
movita beaucoup says
1. I haven’t had fettuccini alfredo in about… 20 years. WHY? I love it, and yet… WHY? I need to address this situation immediately.
2. Yesterday, I was boiling some eggs for our dinner of cobb salad and I thought of you.
Jessica H says
Oh my goodness! This was divine! I ate it for dinner tonight. I truly think I could do an extended egg fast because your recipes are the best! Thank you so much for everything you do. Huge fan :)
Dawn says
Genius!!!
Jessica says
How far in advance do you think you can make the ‘pasta’?
Mellissa Sevigny says
As I mentioned, it’s best fresh, if you have to reheat it can get tough.
Monique says
you mentioned that using heavy cream is not in the egg fast…I just made homemade Mascarpone cheese, using 2 cups of cream and lemon juice??
Cathy says
I had the same question. Allot of the eggfast recipes use Mascarpone cheese. When I looked it up it is made of heavy whipping cream. So why would it not be eggfast legal?

monika says
just use cream cheese!
Lois Fitgzgerald says
everything reheated ib the Microwave gets tough. Take time to heat your oven and heat it in there OR heat slowly in a pan on the stovn
Erika h says
How would I cook it on the stove? My oven is broken at the moment….
Jaanai says
Thank u so much for all the ideas. Do u have an alternative for blue cheese in the crepes?
Thanx again!
Jennifer says
I used feta instead of blue cheese and it was yummy!!
Asia says
Oh. My. GOD. Yes, please. Just… Yes.
Becki says
Thank you so much for all that you do! I am so excited and looking forward to the day egg fast meal plan!!
Jessie says
i wonder if you could make a faux rice pudding with these?
Jan says
I don’t have the mascarpone, so I’m going to try your alternate recipe. The picture really looks like fettuccine alfredo. Thanks!
monika says
just use cream cheese!
Mihir says
for the pasta, soften the cream cheese first? or not necessary?
Allyson says
Loving all this talk and posts on egg fast (fat fast for me)…I’m on second day and I had only lost .4 of one pound this morning! WTH? UGH. Can’t help but be anxious to see what happens today/tonight and scale tomorrow. Hmmmm……
Susan says
Don’t weigh ever day! Demoralizing. Use fit of pants. Weight can vary by several pounds a day naturally.
GREAT RECIPE. Thank you.

Marion@Life Tastes Good says
Oh I am making this!! That ‘pasta’ is just too easy – I’m so excited!!
Lisa Thomas says
Heart be still! I will definitely have to give this one a try.
Pam says
You, lady, are the bomb!
Amber says
I second that, this was a hit for the entire family. We have been missing pasta like dishes since going grain and gluten free in January. This was a perfet fit and very filling, Thank you for your efforts, they are not in vain.
