How to make it keto
Request no rice or pirão. Confirm the sauce has no added sugar or high-carb thickeners like flour or cornstarch. Opt for a cream or coconut milk-based sauce over a heavily sweetened tomato-based one.

Hidden sugars in tomato-based sauces or thickening agents (flour, starch) in creamy sauces. Typically served with rice and pirão (manioc flour paste).
