Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

1 cup fresh spinach (optional, for added nutrients)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. Set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

      Add Cherry Tomatoes: Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes soften and create a sauce.

        Incorporate Spinach: If using, add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted (about 1-2 minutes).

          Add Zucchini Noodles: Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet and toss everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes. Cook just until the zucchini noodles are tender but still al dente.

            Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately, topping with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
