Step 1

Begin by preparing the keto-friendly pasta according to the package instructions. This may include rinsing if using shirataki noodles or boiling if using chickpea-based pasta. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Once the sauce has thickened, add the prepared keto-friendly pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to ensure the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
