Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Basil leaves
- 0 to taste Salt
- 0 to taste Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchini into noodles (zoodles). If you do not have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Cook them until they start to burst and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the tomato paste and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to blend with the tomatoes.
Step 7
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them with the tomato mixture until well coated. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the zoodles are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 8
Tear the basil leaves and add them to the pan, along with salt and black pepper to taste. Give everything a final toss.
Step 9
Divide the low-carb tomato pasta among serving plates, and top each serving with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your healthy, low-carb classic tomato pasta!
