Add the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil (if needed) and stir in the carrot, onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve over low-carb noodles with parmesan cheese.

It adds a subtle sweet/tartness that you don't want to miss!
