Buon giorno! 👋

Today I’m going to show you how to make an easy Keto spaghetti sauce that only takes about 17 minutes to whip up. A classically prepared tomato sauce is typically simmered all afternoon, but you can make a very passable sauce in less than 20 minutes.  

So this Keto pasta sauce is quite quick.

Let’s talk about how to make it.

🫕 Ingredients

• extra virgin olive oil
• garlic
• shallots or onions
• crushed tomatoes
• salt
• black pepper
• dried basil
• dried oregano
• dried parsley
• red wine vinegar
• Swerve Granular

🍃 Fresh herbs

Now, like I said, the recipe is meant to be speedy quick, so it calls for dried herbs.  But if you’d like to add fresh herbs, then I won’t stop you.  Just use 1 tablespoon of the fresh herb instead of 1 teaspoon of the dried herb.  You can chop up the fresh basil, or just throw the leaves in whole.  You’ll need to fuss with taking the leaves off of the oregano stems, but you can chop up the parsley. 

🍚 Sweetener

It might surprise you to see the Keto sweetener Swerve on the list of ingredients.  But that is actually the secret ingredient (that and love of course).  Most tomato sauces use sugar to counteract and balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.  We’ll do the same, but we’ll make it sugar-free.   

🥩 Adding beef

It’s easy to make a poor man’s Bolognese sauce too.  Just saute your onions and garlic in a large skillet instead of a saucepan and then add a pound of ground beef.  Brown the ground beef, drain the fat if you like, and continue with the recipe.  The Keto tomato sauce works equally well in Keto spaghetti and meatballs.  

🍝 The noodles

There is still the small matter of the spaghetti noodles to consider.  Normal durum wheat-based pasta is out of the question, but there are a lot of low carb options out there.  

The list includes:

• Shirataki noodles
• Edamame noodles
• Homemade egg noodles
• Homemade lupin flour noodles
• Homemade psyllium husk noodles
• Zoodles (zucchini noodles)
• Palmini noodles
• Great Low Carb Bread Co. noodles
• Carba-Nada noodles
• ImPASTAble noodles

2. Add onions and saute for 2 minutes until softened. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds more.

4. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

And that’s it. 👩‍🍳

You can make a flavorful pot of Keto spaghetti sauce in about 17 minutes.  And did I mention that it only has just 56 calories and 3g net carbs per serving?  Add some zero-calorie zero-carb shirataki noodles and you’ll have a meal with… just 56 calories and 3g net carbs per serving.  

Exciting! 😋  

Ok, chow for now!
