Zucchini noodles with marinara, also known as zoodles, have become a popular low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. This dish originated in Italy, where chefs in the coastal regions began using fresh zucchini as a healthier substitute for pasta. The zucchini noodles are typically made using a spiralizer to create long, thin strands that resemble spaghetti. The marinara sauce, a classic Italian tomato-based sauce, is then poured over the zucchini noodles, creating a light and flavorful dish. Today, this dish can be found in many Italian restaurants around the world, and it has also become a staple in healthy eating and vegetarian cuisine. For the best version of this dish, it's important to use ripe, fresh zucchini and a well-balanced marinara sauce with the perfect blend of tomatoes, herbs, and spices.
