Cooking instructions

- Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down.
- Next, add the oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
- Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce and, if it’s too acidic for you, add the erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener to balance the flavors.
- Finally, stir in the butter at the end for a richer, creamier sauce and garnish with parsley.
Chef’s pro tip
For a deeper flavor, let the sauce simmer for up to 45 minutes—longer simmering helps the flavors meld beautifully. Taste halfway through and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the sauce starts to thicken too much, add a splash of stock or water to keep it from burning.
