Zoodles in Tomato Sauce

I have found my new favorite dinner.  Honestly, this was so good.  I ordered something along these lines at a restaurant once and so I decided I needed to try to make it at home.  If you haven't made this yet I highly recommend it.  It's super easy to make and it was seriously so good.  Next time I make this recipe I'm going to double it because there wasn't enough for 2 lunches the next day and it was just sooooo good.

You will need:

1 lb zucchini
1 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes
1 6 oz. can tomato paste (you will only use half of the can)
1/2 onion - finely chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. dried oregano (I used one drop of my essential oil oregano)
3 Tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Prepare the zoodles by using your zoodle maker.  I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond.  I've been told they are also sold at Walgreens but I haven't confirmed that.  Use your zoodle maker over a large bowl, once they are all curly and fun, cut them a few times with a knife so they aren't so long after they are cooked.

Now break out your Frank or in my case a little Dean Martin and get that spaghetti sauce a brewin.  My 4 year old came home while I was cooking it and she said how great the house smelled.  That made me so happy.

So take your tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper and put it all in a food processor.  I'm sure a blender would work just as well but I do love my wonderful food processor, I use it for everything.  Mix it all up until it becomes nice and smooth.

Meanwhile saute your chopped onion in the olive oil for just a few minutes until they are soft.  Add the spaghetti sauce to the pan and let it simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Looks yummy, right?

Next boil a pot of water and put your zoodles in it.  I cooked mine for only about 4 minutes.  Drain your zoodles and mix with your sauce.  Yum.  Seriously so good! This is what my 4 year old's plate looked like after she tried it.  She just thought they were noodles!  Healthy and yummy.
