Zucchini Pasta with Tomato Sauce

Place zucchini noodles in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Set it in the sink. Allow the zucchini noodles to drain for 15 minutes. Toss and squeeze out any extra moisture. Set aside.

Add oil into a large saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano and red pepper flakes. Bring to a light simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add zucchini noodles to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Stir in basil and Parmesan (if using). Season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
