If the sauce is too thin add a small amount of xanthan gum, gelatin powder or keto thickener of choice (I used about 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum) Spoon the desired amount of keto rice or keto pasta onto the serving plate of choice. Spoon the desired amount of meatballs and sauce over the rice or pasta substitute. Serve warm.
