How to Calculate Atkins Net Carbs

INGREDIENTS

0 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium (2-1/2" dia) Onions
0 1/2 stalk, medium (7-1/2" - 8" long) Celery
2 clove Garlic
1 tsp, leaves Basil (Dried)
28 oz Crushed Tomatoes (Canned)

DIRECTIONS

Enjoy this versatile low carb marinara with baked meatballs and low-carb or shirataki pasta, as well as sautéed zucchini, onions, and peppers. Each serving of basic tomato sauce is 1/2 cup.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Dice the white onion, celery and garlic; add to pan and saute until the vegetables are very soft, about 6 minutes. Add basil and cook, stirring, 30 seconds.

Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot

Cooking Tip

Make your low carb tomato sauce extra chunky by stirring in extra fresh diced tomato. Just be sure to calculate the extra net carbs.
