This low carb noodle mix makes having homemade noodles a breeze. Elizabeth was kind enough to let me share how she makes this mix and uses it in her Trim Healthy Mama Journey. This recipe is going to be a “Drive Thru Sue” pantry staple

A great part about noodles made from this noodle mix is that they are both low carb and low fat making them versatile in meal prep. The texture is wonderful, honest it really is. And with an inexpensive noodle press
Low Carb Noodle Mix Inspiration
This low carb noodle mix is adapted from my Homemade Pasta Dough, which inspired these popular recipes:
I have more recipes coming that use these noodles or if you prefer the Not Naughty Noodles from Trim Healthy Mama you can use those in place of spaghetti.
About the Low Carb Noodle Mix Ingredients
This noodle mix uses two really great special ingredients from Trim Healthy Mama. You can use other brands however they may change the taste of these noodles slightly.
Glucomannan Powder : While Gluccie is a bit pricey, it cannot be beaten for use in this noodle mix. Pure konjac fiber swells when liquid is added in this case water or chicken broth without adding a major calorie load. THM offers it in a one pound bag which is great for measuring in recipes like this.
I have used NOW brand glucomannan powder
Oat Fiber: I know you have heard me say it before but all oat fiber is NOT the same!! THM oat fiber
Trust me you can tell the difference and you will never look back.
How to Store Your Noodle Mix
Elizabeth uses a 72oz Jar like the one in this set of Canisters.
You can also use any BPA Free canister that you have on hand. Like these from OXO.
My Favorite Noodle Presses
I absolutely adore this little noodle press. It makes pressing out the noodles as easy as 123. It is easy for littles to help with dinner prep. and super simple to clean.
This press is another one of my favorites because it has the ability to make other shapes of pasta as well as can be used for grinding meats and stuffing sausage casings.
Both of these work great with my Homemade Pasta Dough and this Low Carb Noodle Mix.

Annette says
Two CUPS of gluccie?! Is that correct? That’s a LOT of gluccie! Is the pasta rubbery? How much pasta does one recipe/jar make?
Thanks much!
Judy says
The pasta is not rubbery in my opinion. This is a Bulk mix so it makes multiple family size servings. Yes the 2 cups is correct. If you want a smaller batch to try.. please use the homemade pasta dough 🙂
Monica Anderson says
The directions for cooking for the single recipe say that frying or baking reduces the slime factor but it doesn’t say oven temp or cooking. time.
Judy says
I bake at 350 normally… and pan fry with sauces on med high
Mary says
Is 1 cup of baking powder correct? That is a tremendous amount!
Judy says
Yes, this mix is from a large family mama… it makes 12 batches of noodles and they expand when cooking — 1 batch of noodles (1/3 cup mix) will feed 3-4 people
diana says
For several years I’ve made a similar pasta recipe from Buttoni at low carb friends, that uses these ingredients, but in different proportions. I use the proportions 3:3:1 for glucomannan, oat fiber, and coconut flour instead of 2:4:1 as in this recipe. Since I’ve come to add much more coconut flour than Buttoni’s recipe called for, I like the noodles far better. I can’t wait to try these with your proportions of more oat fiber and less glucomannan.
I have that same little pasta extruder, too, and it works like a charm. I like your idea of making up the dry mix as well and just using what you need for a recipe. thanks for this!
Judy says
Thank you❤ I hope you enjoy thm as much as we do.
Carrie says
Maybe I’m missing something, but can you include the instructions on how to cook them – something that I can reprint as well as “pin”? These look great – and easy. Looking forward to trying them. You showed two different noodle presses – do you have a favorite if I were just to order one for now? Do you use them differently?
Judy says
I cook these for 1-2 min in boiling water. Yes I will add that note to the recipe card.
I really like the smaller metal press. But have to be fair. I broke my wrist before i had a chance to really use the other one
jackie m says
I haven’t made these yet, so if this question is redundant I apologize. I have arthritis and the press looks like something that would be a challenge to use. Can you use a traditional crank pasta machine? Or is the dough too sticky or unable to be rolled in a roller pasta machine? thanks! (and thanks for all the recipes, your website is a real goldmine!!)
Judy says
Hi Jackie,
I haven’t had any luck using a traditional crank style pasta machine with this dough. I will say I also have Arthritis and am able to use the press I recommended without an issue.
Thank you so much for looking around 🙂
Michele says
Hi, how do you store the noodles before frying or boiling them?
Judy says
I normally store them in the fridge 🙂
Tresa says
I don’t have that much glucomannan,can I substitute some xanthan gum ?
Judy says
I am sorry, but Xanthan gum does not work in this recipe
Patricia Potter says
Is that total carbs or net carbs?
Judy says
Total Carbs per serving
L. K. says
Ok, I did something wrong… I made a batch of noodles, boiled them for a couple minutes, drained them & added them to my cheese sauce…and ended with a bowl of mush – there were no actual noodles left. 😕 😔 It tasted ok, but wasn’t very appetizing & I ended up tossing it all. Where did I go wrong?! I made up half a batch of mix, and I don’t want to waste it!
Judy says
You can add the cheese sauce to the noodles without boiling them — be careful not to over mix and the noodles will go to mush if they are in liquid too long.
L. K. says
Thank you – I will definitely give it another shot! 🙂
Nikki Stone says
So, these wouldn’t necessarily work for chicken noodle soup?
Judy says
They do work for chicken noodle soup, however you need to keep them seperate from the broth before serving so that the texture doesn’t get weird over time. normally I prepare the noodles and then spoon the broth over the top of the noodles at the time of serving. If you incorporate them during a longer cooking time they absorb too much liquid and become gelatinous (kind of slimy.
Adding the noodles to your bowl and then adding the broth allows them to heat with the broth and retain their texture.
Kim B says
Has anyone used the grinder/pasta attachment on a Kitchenaid mixer?
Martina says
I made a small batch today and that is what I used! I removed the spinning blade. Made nice fat noodles.
Olivia Altizer says
I have the same question.
Martina says
Your small batch recipe uses the whole egg. This one is just egg white – love that idea! Is there much difference in taste?
Judy says
I do not notice a difference
eliza says
That’s for sure a stupid question but do I fry without boil first?
Thanks alot for your kindness. 🤗🤗🤗
Judy says
no question is stupid, I love these pan fried without boiling them
eliza says
I made the pasta in a full automatic pasta maker (Philips pasta maker )and the result..better than the reddy one.
I don’t know if I can upload a pic if yes how?
Desiree says
How exciting! I will be using the Philips pasta maker as well. Did you use the included measuring cup? What liquid did you use? An egg and chicken broth as she said? Did you boil your noodles?
Anolda Ewen Wells says
Can this recipe be used to make lasagna noodles. If so would I boil them before making the lasagna
Judy says
yes it can, but I would not cook them before baking. They will cook in the oven
Randy says
How do you pan fry these noodles? I assume you do not boil them first.
Judy says
I use butter and toss them in a frying pan 🙂
Ann says
I grew up in a German home having cottage cheese filled pierogies with cream sauce often, have been craving them since going keto. Can I substitute anything for the onion and garlic powder? I always sweeten my pierogies.
Judy says
you can leave those out if you want too 🙂 and sweeten or spice the mix as you are using it 🙂
