Over the weekend my girl Hayley and I had a girls night. We combined our two favorite things, wine and food, and a fun night cooking together while catching up. Hayley is a Naturopathic Doctor, gluten free, and loves to be in the kitchen. We jive. When planning our meal she gave me a list of the veggies she had in fridge and asked me what I could come up “since I’m good at that kind of thing.” Sure enough, this recipe of a fresh tomato sauce on a bed of zoodles and meatballs developed.<\/p>\n
I seriously have so much fun cooking and it’s just a pleasure to share it with friends. There are so many different methods to homemade spaghetti sauce and some of them can be pretty labor intensive. I just don’t cook that way. My philosophy is KISS, Keep It Simple Silly \ud83d\ude09 So we cut our tomatoes into halves and fourths, fine chopped our onion, minced the garlic, used the leftover carrot and cauliflower from the meatball recipe (get that recipe here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>), then gathered the dried herbs.<\/p>\n First I warmed up the pan on medium, then added 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Then I added the tomatoes and cooked those uncovered for about 5 minutes, until they softened up. Then I added the rest of the vegetables and all the herbs. Let it cook for another 5 minutes. The sauce was runny so I added tomato paste to thicken it up. No need for flour of any kind!<\/p>\n While that was cooking Hayley spiralized the zucchini and we placed it in a large pot, covered with water and brought to a boil. Once it was boiling we immediately poured the water and zoodles into a strainer and gently patted with a paper towel.<\/p>\n The sauce came out ah-mazing and I knew I had to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!<\/p>\nFresh Tomato Pasta Sauce<\/h2>\n
