Ingredients

• 4 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

Start by making the zucchini noodles. Use a spiralizer to create noodles from the zucchini and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 4

Add dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, stirring to mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

While the sauce simmers, heat another skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil if necessary. Sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes, until they are just tender, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the red sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over each serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped basil and enjoy your Keto Classic Red Sauce Pasta!
