Ingredients

• 800 grams Fresh tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
• 10 leaves Fresh basil
• 120 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Blanch and peel the tomatoes: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Make small ‘X’ cuts at the bottom of each tomato. Place the tomatoes into the boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water. Peel off the skins and chop the tomatoes into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. Add both to the heated olive oil and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan along with the tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, crushed red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

After 20 minutes, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in the erythritol or other low-carb sweetener to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

Step 7

Add 120 milliliters (½ cup) of water to the pan to adjust the consistency of the sauce. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens to your preference.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 9

Serve the low-carb tomatensaus warm over your favorite low-carb noodles (such as zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash), as a base for pizza, or as a dipping sauce.
