Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 3 medium Zucchini (for noodles)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 3 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup Crushed tomatoes (canned, unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
  • 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the marinara sauce over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 4

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still firm to the bite (al dente). Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming watery.

Step 5

Divide the zucchini noodles between two plates. Spoon the marinara sauce generously over the noodles.

Step 6

Optionally, garnish with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly spaghetti!
