Palmini Linguine with Zucchini

By Nedi · On October 15, 2018 Print Recipe


Palmini linguine is one of my favorite pasta alternative made purely from hearts of palm. It is low in carb (only 4 grams per serving and 2 grams net carbs) and low in calories (20 calories per serving). For me personally, the noodles taste incredible and much better than other pasta alternatives. The cooking instructions suggest to soak the palmini in milk for 30 minutes before cooking. I recommend draining and soaking them in nut milk overnight. If you don’t have time to soak overnight then soak for a few hours before you plan on cooking them. This will neutralize the acidity from the vegetable and you won’t be able to taste the heart of palm.

Palmini Pasta with Zucchini and Prawns

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS palmini linguine

  • 1 14oz. can palmini linguine
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1-2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 5 baby zucchini, sliced in circles
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 large shrimps
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
  • Salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  • STEP 1. Drain and soak the palmini linguine in nut milk for at least an hour prior cooking. If you have extra time soak for longer or overnight. This will neutralize the acidity and it won’t taste like a vegetable. Drain and rinse palmini before ready to cook.
  • STEP 2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, onion and zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until browned. Add the garlic and shrimp and sauté for another minute.
  • STEP 3. Add the linguine, tomato sauce and coconut milk. Stir and add in the spices. Increase the heat to a high to reduce the sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes and serve.

    Hi. Are you supposed to drain and rinse the palmini in coconut milk and then use the coconut milk again for the sauce? Above it says both in recipe, thanks!

      You drain the coconut milk as well. It is up to you if you want to rinse them off from the coconut milk.

    Can you drink the milk after draining the pasta? Probably not but was just wondering if it will make the milk sour.

    Do u have to rinse the Palmini right out of the can before u soak it in nut milk? And how much nut milk r u supposed to use to soak it? Is it the 2 cups of nut milk that goes into the sauce in step 3? One last thing can I use chicken instead of shrimp? I don’t like seafood at all.

      Yes, rinse the palmini before soaking it in milk. Use as much milk that is enough to cover the noodles and discard the milk before cooking. Chicken will work fine with the recipe.
