Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Pour the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste into the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir the mixture well.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and let the sauce cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allowing the sauce to simmer will enhance the flavor.

Step 8

Once done, remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Sausage Bolognese over zucchini noodles or enjoy it by itself.
