Thin-Crust Fathead Pizza Dough
Made without cream cheese, this crust is not only keto-friendly but also tastes just like pizza! Even though it's thin, the xanthan gum helps make it sturdy enough to pick up and hold all your favorite pizza toppings. Note that the yeast won't help the dough rise since it's lacking sugar to activate it; it is solely included to add traditional bread-like flavor. Shred your own mozzarella from a block of cheese instead of buying pre-shredded; the latter does not melt well.
Mexican Lasagna
My whole family loves this beefy lasagna flavored with taco seasoning. Even my picky five-year-old will eat it. Serve with shredded lettuce, fresh sliced tomatoes, olives and sour cream.
Homemade Orecchiette Pasta
This homemade orecchiette recipe lets you enjoy the pasta of Apulia (Puglia), the "heel" of Italy. Nowadays, you can buy this ear-shaped pasta in many supermarkets worldwide, but local women in the region still hand-make them for special occasions or just for Sunday lunch. Orecchiette is traditionally served with broccoli rabe and anchovy sauce.
