Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchini, spiralized

Ingredients For Puttanesca Sauce

  • 3 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp. red-pepper flakes
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ¼ cup kalamata olives, chopped
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan, plus 2 tbs. more for garnish
  • ¼ cup freshly chopped basil

  4. Transfer to bowls or a platter, and garnish with the remaining Parmesan. Serve.

Tip: Many handheld spiralizers are inexpensive and easy to use.
