Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchini, then use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set them aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 5
While the sauce simmers, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until they are tender but still firm (al dente).
Step 7
Taste the tomato sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 8
Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the tomato sauce, and garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor.
