Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the low-carb macaroni pasta and cook according to the package instructions, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Season the tomato mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
