Best Zucchini Recipe -- Zoodles with Marinara Sauce

A zucchini noodles and marinara sauce recipe is super simple to cook. The spaghetti sauce will pair perfectly with any pasta, even a gluten free zucchini "pasta", which is really just zucchini noodles cut from raw zucchini, but your taste buds will trick your brain into believing it's pasta. Thin sliced ribbons of zucchini will act just like egg noodles, except when it comes to racking up the calories.

What You Need To Make Marinara Sauce with Zucchini Noodles

2-3 ZUCCHINI
1 lb ground SAUSAGE
1 ONION
crazy amount of GARLIC
GREEN BELL PEPPER
1 15 oz can DICED TOMATO
1 15 oz can TOMATO SAUCE
2-3 tsp ITALIAN SEASONING
RED PEPPER FLAKES (to taste)
up PARSLEY (chopped, optional)
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
OIL for sauteing

How To Make Marinara sauce with Zucchini Noodles

In a large skillet, heat oil on medium heat.
When pan is hot, add sausage. Sometimes I'll shape sausage into meatballs before adding to the skillet and other
times I'll just divide the sausage once it's in the pan; whatever works for you is the right way.
Brown the sausage for a few minutes and then add the onion, garlic, and peppers.
Continue sauteing for 3-4 minutes.
Add herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
Add canned tomato and about can of water.
Mix well and bring the skillet up to a bubble.
Reduce to a low simmer and cook 20-30 minutes. Add water as desired.
While sauce simmers, wash and peel 2-3 zucchini into thin noodles. I find a simple vegetable peeler to be the easiest method
for slicing zucchini into thin, egg noodle like strips.
After sauce simmers, adjust seasoning as desired and stir in the chopped parsley. The parsley is optional, but adds a great color to the
sauce, especially if you're serving the marinara sauce over traditional noodles.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir sliced zucchini into the marinara sauce.
The thin zucchini will readily heat through in the hot marinara sauce and no more cooking is required.
Serve immediately (and top with Parmesan cheese if you like!)
