Zucchini Noodles

Preparation mode

• Wash the zucchini well and, using a spiralizer or julienne grater, cut them into thin strips, similar to spaghetti. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the minced garlic and sauté until it begins to brown, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add the peeled tomatoes, crushing them with a wooden spoon to form a sauce.
• Season with salt, black pepper and oregano.
• Let it cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
• In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the spiralized zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, just until the zucchini softens slightly. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become too mushy.
• Add the tomato sauce over the cooked zucchini and mix well.
• Turn off the heat and add fresh basil leaves.
• Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese on top, if desired.
