Step 1/2
- 2 zucchinis
- spiralizer
- 2 plates
- cutting board
- knife
Use a spiralizer to shave zoodles from the zucchini. If you don't have one, you can use a vegetable peeler to shave thin strips of zucchini, which you can slice into thinner strips, if desired. Divide the zoodles between the serving plates. Peel garlic and shallot.
Step 2/2
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 400 g canned crushed tomatoes
- ½ shallot
- 15 g basil
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil (for serving)
- Parmesan cheese (for serving)
- blender
Add the garlic, sugar, some of the shallot, canned tomatoes, and basil with stems to a blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend everything into a smooth marinara sauce, seasoning further to taste, if necessary. Pour marinara sauce over the zoodles. Finish with a few fresh basil leaves, drizzle with olive oil and add freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
