How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, no potatoes, no plantains, and no other starchy sides. Ask if the sauce contains added sugar or thickeners (e.g., flour or cornstarch).
Watch out for
Tomato paste/sauce, onions, and bell peppers contribute carbs. Hidden sugars can be present in the tomato sauce or as a 'colorant' (caramelized sugar for color). Small amounts of flour/cornstarch might be used as thickeners in some restaurants.
