Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Shirataki noodles (fettuccine-style)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 400 grams Tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water and drain thoroughly. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften.
Add the tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, dry the rinsed shirataki noodles by patting them with paper towels.
In a separate pan over medium heat, lightly dry-sauté the drained shirataki noodles for 2-3 minutes to remove any excess moisture.
Add the noodles to the tomato sauce and stir well to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.
Serve the noodles hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
