Asparagus Pasta
Beautifully flavored Keto Asparagus Tagliatelle Pasta made entirely our of white Asparagus, will add another option to Keto noodles variation. Soft and sweeter flavor together with lovely asparagus sauce make this dish irresistible to make.
Keto Pasta Noodles
I AM A GENIUS.
Do not believe me? Well just look at this recipe. Those are tagliatelle made entirely from asparagus with a super asparagus sauce.
Now, that we have the season for asparagus, so they are in every shop and since I do love them I started using my brain to come up with something unique. I wanted a complete uniqueness. And the uniqueness came in a form of asparagus noodles.
Well, there are a various variety of vegetable noodles but I have not seen asparagus one. Then I check with uncle Google and could not find anything. Maybe they are somewhere there, but I did not look good enough. But it does not matter.
I had this idea of making this asparagus pasta, but then I thought maybe they were already invented but not really tasty and therefore never made into the world. But as I am, I could not just leave it. I said to myself. I have to try them. At least I will eat them and would know for sure how they taste. And if it is really bad, I will just dump them or make something else.
But you know what?
They are OUT OF THIS WORLD.
And the sauce – O MY. So tasty. And that was just what I had in the fridge and though I will experiment and try to mix a bit this and that.
And it worked. WORKED.
If you would like to still look at another way of making Keto Noodles, have a look at our Keto Fiber Noodles Recipe.
I have also made a whole post about various Low carb and Keto Pasta Alternatives.
Difference between white and green asparagus.
As you can see, in this recipe I have used entirely white Asparagus.
The reason is not only the beautiful see-through look of Keto AsparagusTagliatelle pasta made out of this. White Asparagus, compare to the green one much more delicate in taste, milder and a bit on a sweet side.
White Asparagus grows under the soil or in a dark environment and therefore does not get the greeny and grassy look and feel. This on the other side gives us an additional type of vegetable so popular in the season.
For the Green Asparagus, have a look at our Asparagus Keto Quiche Recipe.
Where does the White Asparagus come from?
White asparagus is and can be grown anywhere green asparagus is. The only difference is, that it is a bit more labor intense, where it needs to be grown in the dark environment, or covered entirely, to prevent it from producing chlorophyll – the molecule, which helps the asparagus become green.
Very popular in Central Europe, especially Germany, Nederland, and Austria because of sandy soil, which is extremely suitable to grow this particular sort.
This is one of the reason, why in all of the restaurants in our region Asparagus season is celebrated with various dishes and offers. White asparagus with hollandaise sauce could be found on every single menu. Asparagus Festivals are very popular as well.
When you drive around the country, you can see on the side of the road almost by every farmer offer, with boxes of white asparagus. Supermarkets are filled with it together with already made hollandaise sauce and peelers next to it.
With a very low glycemic index, this vegetable is a big part of our lifestyle. It is not only very low in Carbohydrates but also contains a great amount of Fiber and protein.
It is very low in calories, filled with fibers and therefore helps in weight management.
Since it is grown under the soil, it normally grows into much thicker stems. Those stems are covered with one layer, which is not eatable and very thick to use. Therefore we do have to peel the outer layer. Also, it is important to cut the bottom third of the stems, which is bitter and not really tasty.
How long do you have to cook White Asparagus?
As already mentioned, white Asparagus is much thicker and harder and therefore needs to be cooked much longer compared to the green asparagus. But once cooked, it is beautifully soft and the taste is unbelievable.
In this recipe, even though I have sliced the White Asparagus into the Tagliatelle looking pasta, I still had to cook it for at least 12 minutes, for the softness to appear.
While cooking, it is advisable to add a bit of butter, lemon and sweetener for the bitterness to go away. This way, you will achieve the best and softest white Asparagus, you can dream of.
Can you eat white asparagus raw?
Compare to the green asparagus, which is so tasty eaten raw, it is not really advisable to eat white asparagus raw. The bitterness it contains is pretty strong and not on a tasty side. But once cooked, it can be eaten warm or cold. Depending on your preference.
How to store White Asparagus?
White Asparagus can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. To retain the freshness, it is advisable to store it covered with a damp cloth.
Can white Asparagus be frozen?
Although I hardly freeze it, because once it bought, I just can not wait to make something out of it. We all love white Asparagus for its softness and easy handling.
But if you really want to freeze it, peel it first and cut the ends, as if you would prepare it for normal cooking. Then raw white Asparagus can be placed into a Zip log bag or a Mason Jar and placed in the freezer.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING KETO ASPARAGUS TAGLIATELLE PASTA
First Step: Prepare all ingredients.
Prepare all of the ingredients you will need for keto pasta and cheesy, creamy sauce.
With regards to the cheese, it is best to grate your own.
Second Step: Clean and Slice Asparagus
First, peel the white asparagus outer layer.
Once that is done, using the same peeler, start slicing pasta like tagliatelle noodles.
You might not be able to slice all of the asparagus. All of the leftover pieces keep for the sauce at a later stage.
Third Step: Cook Asparagus
Into boiling water, add butter, squeezed lemon juice, and 1-2 tabs of stevia. This helps asparagus to get a beautiful smooth, soft and flavorful taste and avoid bitterness.
Cook for approximately 12 minutes.
Once cooked, sieve it and pick the leftover asparagus pieces you will not use as a pasta alternative.
Fourth Step: Cook Keto Sauce
To prepare this great cheesy, creamy keto sauce, start with boiling cream cheese and sour cream on a medium-high.
Once that is done, add leftover asparagus and grated cheese, and using a hand blender, blend the whole sauce into a smooth consistency.
Serve immediately on top of your Asparagus Keto Pasta noodles.
Tips and Tricks:
- Cheese – best is to grate your own from a block of store-bought cheese as already pre-shredded contains starches
- White Asparagus – needs to be peeled from the outer layer compared to the green asparagus.
- Video – watching the video I have prepared for you, helps dearly with all of the steps and instructions

I would like to know how you got the asparagus so thin with out cutting or nicking your fingers, LOL
Dear Emily,
I have used vegetable slicer and it was actually pretty easy. I have sliced it with tips of asparagus still uncut. Then at the end whatever was left including the tips, went for the sauce. Hope this help the clarification.
Zuzana
Emily,
It was actually much easier then you think. With a normal hand slicer, with which I peel carrots etc. Was so easy. You should try it.
Zuzana
Hi, I just love your postings always great ideas that work, unlike some other ones out there. You have very doable workable and accessible ideas. Thank you
Oh, thanks Cecilia. I really appreciate your words.
I do try and come up with recipes that we love and enjoy as we do live this lifestyle. They also needs to be loved by my daughter.
What a different and unique dish using asparagus. Getting it cut so thin is the key. Will have to get out my mandolin slicer and see how this goes.
Thanks Candy,
this was a big trial and I have never expected it to be so tasty and delicious.
Have a nice day
Looks yummy! What an ingenious idea!
Dear Cara,
I did not believe it myself at first.
I am definitely making those again.
Have a nice day
Zuzana
This would definitely take a date night at home up a notch. My husband loves asparagus and definitely want to try this.
Dear Ayanna,
Yes you are so right. It is and looks like something out of the Michelin star restaurant. ( a bit at least), so perfect for a special evening.
Have a nice day
Zuzana
Interesting! I’ve never heard of white asparagus before.
Dear Jordan,
White asparagus is here in Europe everywhere, when the season comes. They are much thicker and a bit different in taste compare to the green ones. Worth trying once you find it. Good luck.
Zuzana
This sounds amazing! I’ve never heard of this kind of veggie noodle, but I love mixing things up!! And yes, I definitely now consider you a genius 🙂 Run and get a patent on this idea!
Dear Kelly,
Thanks for your kind words. I was surprised myself how great this came out.
Have a nice day
Zuzana
This is such a good idea and the creme fraiche sauce looks amazing! Total keto comfort food! 🙂 And healthy!
Dear Megan,
You are so right. It is a perfect comfort food
Gosh, this recipe came along at just the right time! We’re driving through Germany and it’s white asparagus season. We literally just picked up a bunch from a roadside seller and I was wondering what to make. That’s a great idea for a low-carb dish!!! Making it tonight.
Dear Irena,
I am sure you are already enjoying those white Asparagus on the way. I am sure, they have them all over
Brilliant! I can’t wait to try this. I love asparagus and I’m hoping I can find the white asparagus. Maybe the green kind will work too (just not as pretty)??
Dear Stacey,
Green could work as well, but difficult to find a really thick stem. But as an idea – excellent
I love white asparagus and THAT sauce! Great recipe!
Dear Joni,
So true, white asparagus is really a top veggie in spring for us as well
What a great way to use a unique vegetable but still make a creamy, indulgent sauce. Can’t wait to try this!
It really is something to consider trying. Delicious
What a great idea, I’m crazy about asparagus and could easily eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner so I can’t wait to try this out!
Dear Kari,
Same here. I have even started eating it raw. So good.
What a great alternative for noodles! I love white asparagus and would definitely love to try this.
Dear Katie,
It is really worth trying. Love it here
Dear Chihyu,
Thanks a lot, it is really so perfect
