Zucchini Noodles with Puttanesca Sauce

Some spiralizer brands are different so just use the blade that will give you the thinner noodles.
Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Total Time25 minutes mins
Servings: 4
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 2 large sized zucchini unpeeled and spiralized with blade C
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 tablespoon anchovy paste
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup black olives pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • few slivers of Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

  • Spiralize your zucchini and set aside. Using a large sized sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. After a minute or two, add the onions, anchovy paste and garlic and sauté for a few minutes, or until the onions just start to soften a bit.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, olives and chopped basil, turn the heat up and bring the sauce to a boil, then lower the heat to low and simmer for about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and toss gently, coating all the zucchini with the sauce. Cook for a few minutes and season with crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Serve with big slivers of parmesan cheese and enjoy!

    I love zoodles! I love my spiralizer! It’s really quite the obsession at this point. And your sauce is delightful.
    You get major props for avoiding Psy. I like classics better, and everyone loves “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.” Oldie but goodie!

    Aww I’m sure the kids will love that! More than Gangnam Style. Just saying. 😛

    ZOODLES!!!! Way to make my day. I love a good puttanesca sauce, mainly for the olives. So salty and briny…mmm. I’m sure the zoodles soak up all the flavors!

    I apparently need to dig my spiralizer out of the drawer and use it…because this meal looks incredibly awesome! Like I kinda want to dig in for breakfast. Is that allowed? I hope the big presentation went well! (I’m sure it did!) But now I’m going to need you to post a Heads-Shoulders-Knees-and Toes video here on your site. Can that be arranged?

    I recently bought a spiralizer as well! At first I wasn’t sure how often I would use it or if it’s worth the counter/storage space in my small apartment kitchen. To my surprise, it’s quite fun to use! And any equipment that makes cooking fun is a keeper for me. 🙂

    I haven’t used my spiralizer in ages. I kind of just forget I have one. Seriously. The other day I was at BBB and was actually checking them out before remembering I already had one. I’m convinced I need to dust that baby off and make this. Yum!!
