Shirataki Noodles With Broccoli & Sauce
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
2-4
ingredients
- 1 lb broccoli
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup nonfat chicken broth
- 8 ounces shirataki noodles
- 1⁄2 cup onion (thick diced)
- 3 garlic cloves (or to taste)
- 1⁄2 cup reduced-fat feta cheese (or fat free)
- salt and pepper
directions
- Cut the broccoli buds into small florets, leaving as short a stem as possible and set aside.
- Cut the remaining broccoli stems into 1/2" pieces; steam the broccoli pieces, the diced onion and the garlic, in 1 cup of lightly salted water for 10 minutes or until very soft.
- Meanwhile, place shirataki noodles in a colander, rinse in water thorourghly and drain. At this point I use my kitchen scissors to cut the noodles into bite sized pieces.
- Place the chicken broth, reserved florets and shirataki noodles into a small pot and steam or boil 4 to 5 minutes, retaining the bright green color and a bit of crunch; drain liquid and reserve.
- In a food processor, puree the cooked broccoli, onion and garlic until very smooth, adding a bit of the reserved pasta broth if needed to make a smooth sauce; add feta cheese, pulse until melted; add salt & pepper to taste.
- Pour warm sauce over the shirataki noodles & broccoli and stir gently to combine; plate and sprinkle with extra feta cheese if desired.

Judy I made this before, and realize I never reviewed it! I'm so sorry! This makes a wonderful quick, hot, nutritions lunch! I love shirataki noodles, and this is another way to use them! Thank you for the recipe! This is perfect for a WW version, just substitute lower fat feta, and could just eliminate the butter. That would probably have only a point or two per serving.
