The Gluten-Free Margherita Pasta with zucchini noodles is a modern twist on the classic Italian dish. Originating in Naples, the traditional Margherita pasta is a simple yet flavorful combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil. The zucchini noodles, also known as zoodles, add a healthy and gluten-free element to the dish. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Giada De Laurentiis have popularized this variation, making it a staple in many Italian restaurants worldwide. For the best version of this dish, sourcing ripe, juicy tomatoes and high-quality mozzarella is crucial. The zucchini should be spiralized to achieve the perfect al dente texture. This dish is a delightful alternative for those seeking a lighter, gluten-free option without compromising on taste.
