If this describes you, I feel your pain. You’re deep, soul crushing pain.

If you’re low-carb for health reasons one bite can mean blood sugar chaos, and for PCOS, it’s like to poking a cranky bear in the eye.
INGREDIENTS :
Cheese Sauce
- 2 oz cream cheese Softened
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup almond milk other dairy or non-dairy milk works
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar I used mild but you can use any sharpness
Noodles
- 2 bags Shirataki noodles linguine style. Other styles work also. See notes for tips
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 cups water
INSTRUCTIONS :
- Add 4 cups of water + 1 tsp salt to medium saucepan
- Cut open noodle package and dump noodles into colander over sink to drain
- Add drained noodles to salted water and bring to a boil. Once boiling set timer for 10 minutes
- When 5 minutes is up start making the cheese sauce in separate small saucepan
- In small saucepan combine heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and non dairy milk. Whisk until combined. (I soften mine on low heat with cream and milk for a few minutes to save time. The clumps eventually break up)
