- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Basil leaves, fresh and chopped

Instructions
Begin by preparing the keto macaroni according to the package instructions, ensuring it's cooked to al dente for a firm texture. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped basil leaves, and dried oregano. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces slightly.
