How to make it keto
Crucially request no potatoes, rice, or mandioca. Confirm that no sugar is added to the tomato-based sauce, as some kitchens sweeten it.
Watch out for
Sugar in tomato sauce or commercial tomato products, inclusion of high-carb vegetables like peas or corn (unlikely but possible), and the standard serving with high-carb side dishes.
