Zucchini spaghetti sauce is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta sauce. It is made with fresh zucchini, which is spiralized into thin strands that resemble spaghetti. The zucchini is then cooked in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs. Zucchini spaghetti sauce is a great way to add more vegetables to your diet, and it is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings, such as meatballs, chicken, or vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat a Dutch oven or pot over medium to medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and lightly brown a few minutes. Then add the onion, garlic, chile and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and cook 7 to 8 minutes more. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the wine, then add the tomatoes and passata. Stir in the basil and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes more. Cool and store. Reheat over medium heat.
- To serve, bring a large pot of pasta water to a boil, salt the water and cook the pasta until al dente. (Save a cup of the starchy cooking water.) Drain the pasta and toss it with the butter, half the sauce, 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water and some cheese. Serve in shallow bowls and top with more sauce and cheese. Use more of the starchy pasta water to loosen up the pasta if it gets tight.

Steps:
- For the Zucchini: Place the sliced zucchini in a bowl; add the seasonings, lemon juice and canola. Heat a large frying pan and place the sliced zucchini in the pan; do not over crowd the pan. When the zucchini become golden on one side, turn over and finish cooking on the other side. Set the zucchini aside for the spaghetti dish. For the Fresh Tomato Sauce: Heat a heavy cast iron sauce pot on a medium to low heat; add the tomatoes and cook down, uncovered. Add the olive oil, garlic, basil and seasonings and continue to cook down on a low heat; uncovered. The longer you cook the sauce the better it gets. Prepare the spaghetti according to directions and drain. Place the spaghetti in a serving bowl. Top with a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of red pepper flakes; add the fresh tomato sauce and toss. Add fresh grated cheese, Asiago cheese and fresh basil to finish the dish. Serve this dish with a glass of Baglio Di Pianetto wine.
Tips:
- For best results, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or a mandoline slicer.
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the sauce. Fresh, ripe tomatoes and flavorful herbs will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish.
- Don't overcook the zucchini noodles. They should be cooked through but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve zucchini spaghetti sauce immediately after cooking. It's best enjoyed fresh.
