Cooking Time:
20 Minutes
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced white onions
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes (28-ounce)
- 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup roughly-chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 large zucchinis, spiralized
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add in the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, then stir to combine.
- Continue cooking until the sauce reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low and continue to let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the oil on the surface is a deep orange and the sauce is reduced and thickened.
- Taste, and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Add in the spiralized zucchini and toss until it is evenly coated with sauce. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are slightly softened.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan cheese.
