Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Keto-friendly pasta (such as shirataki noodles or chickpea-based pasta)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Begin by preparing the keto-friendly pasta according to the package instructions. This may include rinsing if using shirataki noodles or boiling if using chickpea-based pasta. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir to combine, then let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the sauce has thickened, add the prepared keto-friendly pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to ensure the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the pasta is heated through.
Serve the keto macaroni with tomato sauce hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
Enjoy your healthy and flavorful keto meal!
