Homemade Marinara Sauce (Low Carb) From: Martina @ ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2015/04/08/low-carb-marinara-sauceMarinara sauce is one of the many low-carb ingredients I use on a regular basis. Several recipes in the KetoDiet App include this easy to make sauce and I'll also be using it in upcoming recipes on my blog. It's great as low-carb pizza topping, with zoodles or as a dip with home-made, grain-free Keto Breadsticks. It's easier than you think.Prep time: 5 min Total time: 5 min Makes about: 1 1/4 cups Ingredients: 1 cup cherry tomatoes or regular tomatoes, chopped (150 g / 5.3 oz)½ - 1 cup fresh basil2 cloves garlic1 shallot or small white onion (30 g / 1.1 oz)¼ cup tomato puree/paste, unsweetened (60 g / 2.1 oz)¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (60 ml / 2 fl oz)¼ tsp salt or more to taste (I like pink Himalayan)freshly ground black pepperInstructions:Wash and drain the tomatoes and fresh basil. Peel the onion and garlic.Place most of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to dice the onion and mash the garlic before to make sure there are no large pieces left.If you prefer a chunky texture, leave some tomatoes and basil aside, dice and add to the smooth sauce. When done, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a week. To keep it fresh for longer, pour a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil on top and store for up to 2 weeks.Marinara sauce is perfect as topping on low-carb pizza!
