Ingredients

  • 2 large or 4 small zucchini, spiralized  
  • ½–1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 oz whole wheat spaghetti noodles (optional)

Instructions

Stove Top Instructions

  1. If using pasta, cook according to package instructions. The addition of pasta to this recipe will help absorb any excess liquid from the zucchini noodles (also called zoodles). 
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zoodles and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until crisp tender. 
  3. Add sauce and continue cooking until sauce is heated through and zoodles have reached desired consistency. Add cooked pasta, if you’re using it, and serve immediately. 

 

Crock Pot Instructions

  1. Add the zoodles to the Crock Pot.
  2. Cover with marinara sauce.
  3. Cook on low for 2–3 hours.
  4. If desired, or if marinara zoodles have too much extra liquid, add cooked pasta. Stir gently to combine. Alternately, uncooked pasta may be added during the last 30–40 minutes of cooking. 
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
