Equipment
- 9×9 baking dish
- Spiralizer (or just a knife, see below)
Ingredients
Tomato Feta Sauce:
- 12 oz mini tomatoes
- 4 oz block of feta divided
- 2 garlic cloves whole
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- ⅛ cup fresh basil chopped
Zucchini Noodle Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchinis
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lay out a 9×9 casserole dish.
- Add 1/2 of the feta (just cut it in half) to the baking sheet, arrange the tomatoes around the feta, add in the garlic cloves, sprinkle with pepper and red pepper flakes.
- Add to the oven and bake for 45 minutes while you work on the zucchini noodles. (I recommend setting a 30 minute timer now)
- Wash and trim the ends off of the zucchinis, and use a spiralizer to turn your zucchinis into noodle shaped strips.
- Alternatively, you can thinly slice the zucchinis lengthwise, then slice the thin strips into spaghetti like strips.
- Add the zucchini (make sure it's well spread out) to the parchment paper lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- When the tomatoes have 15 minutes left, add the zucchini to the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until the zucchini noodles are al dente, and the tomatoes are tender and mostly popped open.
- Remove both the zucchini noodles and the tomatoes from the oven.
- Remove and discard garlic cloves, and mix the tomatoes and cooked feta together, then add in the zucchini noodles and 1/2 of the basil to the tomatoes.
- Toss well so the zucchini pasta is covered in sauce and basil.
- Add to plates, crumble the remaining feta over the tops, along with the remaining basil.
- Serve hot.
