### **Why Zucchini Pasta?**
Zucchini noodles, or “zoodles,” are a fantastic substitute for traditional pasta. They’re not only lower in calories but also high in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. Zucchini noodles absorb the flavors of sauces beautifully while providing a refreshing, crunchy texture that complements the rich, savory taste of the sauce.

It’s quick to make, versatile, and can be paired with almost any sauce, but today, we’re going to combine it with a light, fresh tomato sauce for a burst of Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
### **Ingredients:**
– 3 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
