Simple Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles) with Warm Tomato Sauce
Serves: 2
Ingredients
4 large ripe red tomatoes
1 large zucchini (or 2 medium)
1 yellow tomato or cherry tomatoes (optional)
2 cloves of garlic minced
6 basil leaves, thinly sliced (a few more to garnish)
a small handful of freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180c degrees
Wash and prepare all the vegetables and herbs
Place the red tomatoes on a baking tray and bake for around 20mins until the skins split (I find this process also makes the tomatoes so much tastier!)
Allow the red tomatoes to cool enough so you can handle them
In the meantime, using a spiraliser, mandolin or peeler, cut the zucchini into noodles
Slice the yellow tomato or cherry tomatoes, mince up the garlic, slice the basil leaves and grate your parmesan cheese
Once the red tomatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins and hard core
Crush them in a medium sized bowl with your hands or a wooden spoon (I keep the seeds and all)
Heat your pan on medium heat and add the butter until melted
