Units
Scale
- 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.

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!
