- 0.5 cup Vegetable Broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until tender. Set aside.
In a separate saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth to the saucepan, mixing well. Bring to a simmer.
Season the tomato sauce with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in chopped fresh basil.
Serve the cauliflower rice on plates and top with the prepared tomato sauce. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
