Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Basil, fresh, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into noodles (zoodles) and set aside on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften and break down.
Step 4
Stir in the tomato paste, mixing well with the tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Add the chopped fresh basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and simmer for an additional 3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Step 6
In a separate large skillet over medium-high heat, add the zucchini noodles, cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until they are tender but still firm (al dente).
Step 7
Toss the cooked zucchini noodles with the tomato sauce to coat them evenly.
Step 8
Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
