Instructions
- Place the julienned zucchini in a large bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of sea salt. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. You want the onion to be nice and brown.
- Scrape the onion and garlic into a blender and add the diced tomatoes. Blend until smooth. Pour the sauce back into the pot and add the remaining ingredients. Heat until the sauce is warm.
- Rinse the zucchini pasta well under hot water then gently squeeze handfuls of it to dry.
- Serve the pasta with the sauce on top and a little parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast.
