Ingredients

• 200 grams Shirataki noodles
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 1 medium Bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small Zucchini, sliced
• 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
• 1 teaspoon Basil, dried
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water for 2 minutes to remove any unpleasant odor. Set aside to drain further.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the chopped bell pepper and sliced zucchini to the skillet and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine with the vegetables.

Step 6

Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

While the sauce is simmering, put the shirataki noodles in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and dry-fry them for about 5 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 8

Add the dry-fried shirataki noodles to the tomato sauce and vegetables in the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together completely.

Step 10

Serve the keto pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and garnished with fresh basil leaves.
