We are lasagna freaks in the Fluffy Chix House! And sure, typical meat sauce, mushrooms, layers of cheese and noodles, what’s not to love, right? But sometimes we crave exotic or extra special recipes and feel like playing around with ingredients.

I saw this picture in Cooking Light Magazine of an amazing looking pesto and Alfredo lasagna. Of course it was gorgeous. And of course it had about eleventy billion carbs. Girlllll!!!!! That just isn’t in our fluffy future these days (nor the last 14 years of fluffy history, either). But dangit! Whaddawedoooo?? We want; we want! We need, we need!

So about that time, I heard of people having success with Psylli pasta made with cream cheese. If you haven’t read about the Psylli Induction Pasta we published last week, please zoom on over and read. I included the links to two recipes that influenced this recipe. But I thought, Jasus, Mary and Joseph, that’s a LOT of psyllium. Look out pipes, here it comes! And began working on a low carb keto noodle/pasta alternative. Then spring came, and thoughts of pasta and pumpkin went out the window. But now that fall is rolling in and pumpkin season unfolds, it’s time to bring out the big guns! It’s time…wait for it…for Psylli Pumpkin Alfredo & Pesto Lasagna! I am NOT lyin’!

Psylli Pumpkin Pesto Alfredo Lasagna tastes so rich and delicious, you would never for one second think, “Oh hey, low carb keto deprivation…”

 

Although the texture of the low carb pumpkin noodles isn’t exactly perfect, they worked for us. There may be a little tweak in its future. I’m experimenting right now with adding a bit of glucomannan powder and will let you know how it turns out! Maybe, we’ll have another post? Can’t ever have enough low carb pasta posts, right?  Or at least, that’s my story…

I began kicking around ideas for low carb keto noodle versions:

pumpkin and nutmeg in a white sauce with pesto (seriously fantastic)
spinach and garlic with lots of butter and parm (wicked awesome—thanks to my Boston boys for the “wicked”)
roasted garlic (simple chopped tomatoes sautéed in butter and basil with parm, hold me)
roasted cauliflower and cumin (served in a bold chili sauce with spicy sausage, peppers & onions)

 

I could go on and on forever! But you first need to get all the basic Psylli Pasta recipes. Here’s the next one for your collection—Psylli Pumpkin Pasta – Low Carb Keto Lasagna Noodles with ‘Tude (Attitude).

Hope you love them and write a comment below telling me how they worked for you and your family! Just because we’re low carb keto and diabetic kick-your-booty-friendly, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our pasta! Oh and don’t let me forget to share my love of pasta cutters! A pizza cutter works too, in a pinch, but I love this Norpro Pasta and Lasagna Wheel! Makes cutting the cooked noodles so easy and give a pretty frilly edge to them too!

  2. Just wanted to let you know that this is a great recipe, loved the noodles in my lasagna, I didn’t add the pumpkin or nutmeg on mine but it was so good in my lasagna my husband “the pickiest person alive” loved it and said ok now you found our lasagna noodles! Lol Thank you so much for sharing and I still can’t believe how easy it is.

    • Awww! I’m so happy you found something useful to make your low carb lifestyle easy!!! I have the Psylli Pasta (Plain), that work just like these noodles! You should try those too!

      • Next time will try the plain one, Thank you. I wish I could share a photo of the finish product here. I posted your link to a very popular FB group call LCHF and they are all very exited to try this after I posted all the pictures.

        • Awwww I will go look for the link now!!! Thank you so much for sharing and so happy, happy, happy they are working for you!!!!

  3. What size baking pan??

    • We use a 12×17, but any size will work.

  4. I don’t like pumpkin so if I leave it out do I need to replace it with something else? or just leave it out?

    • If you leave it out, then I would make the other pasta recipe without the pasta. This really doesn’t come across as pumpkin though.
