Zero carb pasta

[Naja]

Boil scalded tripe (not the honeycomb tripe) for several hours in several changes of water until tender but not falling apart. Test for consistency; you want "al dente" slightly chewy. Allow to cool and cut into strips.

I just did a fantastic bacon Alfredo sauce over a plate of these chewy "noodle" strips. I did a butter, cream, shallot and Parmesan cheese base with bacon and Italian herbs for the sauce, thickened with guar gum, and added chunks of fresh tomato, basil and homemade Italian venison sausage at the very end to the pasta dish itself. Very tasty.

I know Heidi doesn't like innards, but I happen to love tripe! I love it cooked in a tomato sauce, similar to what you described.

I fed it to the boyfriend without telling him it was tripe. He loved it and had no idea what it was. Most people won't, with a preparation like this.

In fairness I did tell him after the fact, as he isn't the sort to mind what he is eating as long as it tastes good. Which this certainly did.

Re: Zero carb pasta

In this recipe, it tastes chewy and bland, pretty much like the sauce you use.
