Ingredients
- 4 large Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 15 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 10 chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0 to taste Salt
- 0 to taste Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the zucchini noodles. Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into fettuccine-like noodles. Set aside on a clean kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Pour the canned crushed tomatoes into the skillet and stir in the dried oregano, basil leaves, and red pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes to let the flavors merge.
Step 4
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
In a separate large frying pan, lightly heat the zucchini noodles over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still firm, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Drain any excess water released from the zucchini noodles and combine them with the tomato sauce in the skillet. Mix well to coat the noodles evenly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Toss gently until the cheese is melted and the noodles are well coated.
Step 8
Serve the keto fettuccine warm, garnished with additional basil or Parmesan cheese if desired.
