Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth.
Step 6
Add the Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 7
Simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Step 8
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. For extra flavor, garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
Step 9
Serve the keto spaghetti sauce over zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or your favorite low-carb pasta substitute. Enjoy!
