• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes (unsweetened, no added sugar)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup Beef broth (low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups Zucchini noodles or other keto-friendly spaghetti alternative

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onions and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth.

Step 6

Season the mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 7

Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

While the sauce is simmering, prepare the zucchini noodles or your choice of keto-friendly spaghetti according to the package instructions, then set aside.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve the meat sauce over the prepared zucchini noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
