Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 3 medium Zucchini, spiralized into noodles
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1 teaspoon Low-carb sweetener
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the tomato paste, stirring to combine well.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.
Allow the sauce to simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste the sauce and add the low-carb sweetener if needed to balance acidity, stirring to dissolve it completely.
While the sauce is simmering, prepare the zucchini noodles by spiralizing them.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender.
Serve the keto tomato sauce over the zucchini noodles, garnishing with fresh torn basil leaves.
Enjoy your keto-friendly pasta dish!
