Spotted some shiritaki penne on sale at Holland and Barrett the other day so I bought 4 packages and knew I had to make a pizza casserole with it. I’ve been craving pizza so bad and while I know I can make a pizza crust, I was too lazy.

So if you haven’t had shiritaki noodles, it’s either a hit or a miss. Some people love them, others hate them. The trick is to RINSE RINSE RINSE. They will come out of the package smelling like death but throw them all into a colander, and rinse for 2-3 minutes until the smell goes away.

IF you don’t want to use shiritaki noodles, you can definitely replace them with cauliflower, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash or a mix of all three! Just keep in mind, the carbs will be higher when you use vegetables.

My first book – Keto Cravings – is on Amazon now!

Oh and here’s a quick tip to make some good tomato sauce that you KNOW has NO added sugars. Because I didn’t have any tomato sauce, I pulled out a can of tomato paste instead and added 5 tbsp of water to a can of paste. This will give it the consistency of sauce and you can add any extra herbs and spices you want.
