Ingredients

• 400 grams Shirataki noodles (fettuccine-style)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 400 grams Tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water and drain thoroughly. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the ingredients.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

While the sauce simmers, dry the rinsed shirataki noodles by patting them with paper towels.

Step 8

In a separate pan over medium heat, lightly dry-sauté the drained shirataki noodles for 2-3 minutes to remove any excess moisture.

Step 9

Add the noodles to the tomato sauce and stir well to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the noodles hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
