Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it turns a rusty brown color, about 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze pan with red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan vigorously to release the oils . Pour in the crushed tomatoes or marinara sauce.

3

Toss in granulated garlic, granulated onion, dried oregano, and ground mushroom powder. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

4

Meanwhile, rinse the Shirataki noodles in a fine-meshed colander for about a minute. Drain thoroughly. Place a large nonstick skillet over high heat, add the noodles to the dry pan and continuously stir until all of the liquid from the noodles has evaporated. This will allow the noodles to not only taste better, but it totally removes their fishy smell.
