Instructions
Start by preparing the keto penne pasta according to the package instructions. Ensure not to overcook to maintain the best texture, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic and oil.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked keto penne pasta to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the tomato sauce.
Serve the pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Garnish each plate with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly pasta!
