Author: Parsnips and Parsimony

Recipe type: Low carb

Serves: 1-2

Ingredients

• 1 small zucchini, spiralized
• ½ cup thinly sliced onions
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp fresh basil, thinnly sliced
• 1 tsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Take your spiraled zucchini and place it in a colander and salt generously. Allow it to sit and drain for 15-30 minutes while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.

3. Rinse zucchini to remove salt and give it a toss in the colander to remove any excess water.
4. Add zucchini, tomatoes, basil, oregano and salt and pepper to onions and cook for approximately 5 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on how much water was left in the zucchini and how thick your spirals are.
5. Cook zucchini until it is almost done.

7. Cook until slightly thickened and reduced slightly.
8. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese
