Keto Gouda Souffle w Anchovy Lemon Pasta
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare porcelain ramekins by rubbing ½ teaspoon of butter per serving all over the inside of each ramekin. Each ramekin should be fully greased with butter so you can see a thin, visible layer. Store the ramekins in your refrigerator until you need them later in the recipe.
Step 2
Turn on the oven to preheat to 350 degrees. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, and set the yolks aside somewhere safe. Whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer until you have stiff peaks. Transfer the whipped egg whites to a clean bowl and set them in your refrigerator as well.
Step 3
Wipe your mixing bowl clean and add in the egg yolks. Whip the egg yolks until they become a pale yellow and have increased in size slightly. Then, whip in the cream. On a low setting, gently mix the flour, pepper, italian seasoning, and xanthan gum into the egg yolk batter. Remove your mixing bowl from your stand mixer and use a spatula to fold the gouda cheese into the batter.
Step 4
Finally, fold the whipped egg whites into the souffle batter. Fold gently to keep as many air bubbles in the egg whites as intact as possible. Set the prepared ramekins on a sheet tray and pour the souffle batter into each ramekin. Once poured, you can gently rotate each ramekin the even out the batter, but don’t tap out any air bubbles.
Step 5
Use your thumb to create a ring about ¼-inch deep into the batter around the circumference of each ramekin. Bake the souffles for 20-25 minutes. When done, there should be no liquid wiggle to the souffles and the tops will be lightly golden. Let the souffles cool for just a couple of minutes before serving. The souffle may lose some height after cooling.
Step 6
While the souffles are baking, make the pasta. Open a can of your favorite brand of anchovy packaged in oil. Remove the anchovy fillets and use a paper towel to remove excess oil from the fish. Set aside 3 whole anchovy fillets per serving and prepare a small dish with the almond flour. For this recipe, you may want to include extra almond flour on your plate. Press the whole anchovy fillets into the almond flour, giving each fillet a light coating on each side. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, fry the lightly breaded anchovy fillets for just 1 minute per side in the oil. Transfer the fried anchovy fillets to a clean surface to rest. Chop the remaining anchovies in small pieces.
Step 7
Return your pan to the stove over low heat and melt the butter in the pan. Add minced garlic and chopped anchovies to the melted butter and let them cook over low heat until the butter turns golden and the garlic and anchovies are fragrant. Stir the lemon zest and capers into the butter. Let the ingredients cook over low heat for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Drain and rinse your shirataki noodles in a colander in the sink. Then, gently stir the noodles into the pan while the heat is still on low. Stir the pepper and lemon juice in with the noodles. Bring the pan to a simmer and let the noodles cook in the anchovy and lemon pasta sauce until all excess water has evaporated. The noodles will have absorbed some of the sauce and taken on a lightly browned color. Return the stove heat back down to low, and stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
Step 9
Gently fold the noodles over in the pan with the parmesan cheese until all the noodles are coated. The parmesan cheese does not have to melt completely for this recipe. Take the pan off the stove and serve the pasta by weight. Each serving includes 1 souffle and a side of pasta with 3 fried anchovies laid on top.
