Instructions
Rinse the shirataki rigatoni noodles under cold water for a few minutes, then drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it's translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the rinsed and drained shirataki noodles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
Combine the cooked shirataki noodles with the meat sauce and toss well to coat.
Serve hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
