Notes

If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender before serving.
Add some ground beef or Italian sausage to give this keto recipe a meaty bolognese twist!
Freezes well up to 3 months.
Not only is this sauce multi-purpose, it's sugar free and full of Italian flavor without taking you out of ketosis.
