- ¼ small yellow onion small diced (or white onion)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon granulated stevia or sugar if you're not on a keto diet to balance acidity
- table salt to taste for a low-sodium marinara sauce, add only a pinch
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
