Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 28 oz organic diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tsp monk fruit / erythritol sweetener
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ¼ tsp dehydrated red pepper flakes

  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Equipment Needed

Directions

  • Heat a saucepan on medium heat with the avocado (or olive oil). Mince the garlic and, once the oil is hot, add the garlic and fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, water, red wine vinegar, sweetener, red pepper flakes, onion flakes, basil, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Bring the sugar free pasta sauce to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce into a dreamy, creamy, smooth Keto Marinara Sauce.

Notes

Expert Tips

  1. Use a garlic press to easily and efficiently press the garlic into smithereens.
  2. Leave your sugar free pasta sauce chunky if you prefer, though I highly recommend it nice and smooth!
  3. Don't have an immersion blender but want a smooth sauce? Cool it to room temperature and then blend in either a food processor or blender. After it is processed smooth, it can be returned to the saucepan to be reheated.
  4. Use this Keto Marinara Sauce immediately or cool to room temperature, pour into an air tight container or jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze and it will last 3-4 months!
