This simple recipe uses canned tomatoes for easy prep. It's a good sugar-free marinara sauce to serve with low carb cheese bread.
Print Recipe
Heat oil in skillet. Add garlic and cook over medium heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring for 1 minute
Add the peeled plum tomatoes. Stir to combine and then add salt and black pepper and bring to a boil.
Simmer sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened and reduced, about 30 minutes. Taste and season again with salt and black pepper if needed. Discard basil and garlic cloves. Puree if desired.
Serve over spaghetti squash or cheese pasta. Top with fresh torn basil leaves and grated fresh Parmesan cheese. Also great to serve with low carb meatballs or cheese bread.
Italian seasonings can be added for more flavor.
Sweetener isn't needed, but it can be used to preference.
