This keto pasta recipe requires additional preparation by creating a roux — a butter and flour combination used to thicken sauces such as mac and cheese – in advance. Skipping this step would result in chunky cheese or cauliflower that won’t appeal as much when served together with pasta.

This simple dish requires minimal preparation time, making it the ideal option for busy evenings. To save even more time, prepare the eggplant and breading ahead of time and reheat it before serving.

Seafood Curry
