Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Cook pasta according package directions.  Once done, drain and set aside.

Step 2

While pasta is cooking, heat a large oven safe pan over medium heat.  Add olive oil and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

While onions are cooking, spiralize the zucchini (or cut in thin strips if you don’t have a spiralizer).  Add garlic, zucchini, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the pan and cook for about 7 minutes, until zucchini is tender.  There will probably be a fair amount of water that comes out of the zucchini, I like to use a turkey baster, or spoon, to discard as much of the water as I can.

Step 4

Next, add the spaghetti noodles, tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of the cheese.  Stir until everything is combined and then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on the top.  Place the pan into the oven and bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly, 10 – 15 mins.

Step 5

Top with fresh basil if desired and enjoy while hot!
