Low Calorie Zucchini Noodles with Tomatoes and Feta

Low Calorie Tomato Feta Zucchini Pasta

Lose Weight By Eating
This Low Calorie Tomato Feta Zucchini Pasta is just 231 calories and so yummy! It's just like the viral tomato feta pasta, but made low calorie, and low carb!
There are many different ways to cook zucchini noodles, and if you prefer to cook them on the stovetop, by all means go for it! But I am in the mindset if I have to pay to heat the oven, I might as well pack it with all the food I need to cook.
Special Tip: I have included some low sodium tips below in the nutrition section, but unfortunately feta has a lot of sodium.

Equipment

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 9x9 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.
