Keto Pesto Sausage Pasta Dish
I LOVE pasta. I'll admit I'm not a huge shirataki noodle fan.
That is, until I found the angel hair pasta version. It was a perfect addition to this Keto Pesto Sausage Pasta Dish!
Make sure not to overcook the asparagus. About 2 minutes is all that is needed and they will turn bright green and be perfect!
The pesto flavor and spice from the sausages perfectly compliment each other and make it so no other spices are needed.
Test it out and let me know what you think!
