Thinly sliced zucchini stands in for pasta in this garden-fresh dish that is bursting with flavor. Zucchini noodles or zoodles are light, tasty and can be served with all kinds of healthful toppings.
Use a julienne peeler (or spiral slicer or regular vegetable peeler) to make long, very thin strips of zucchini, and arrange on two plates. Chop the fresh tomatoes roughly and place in a food processor with dried tomatoes and soaking water, garlic, basil, and vinegar. Pulse until you reach desired consistency. Spoon the sauce over the zucchini strips.

Delicious! Took me some time to understand that I was making pasta! Now i get it. never thought that raw zuchini was a thing! I fried some on a skilled and left half raw to see the difference. Raw was betters. Thinking about beens in the saus next time to make it a sturdier meal for the family. Just love this recipe. And the fresh basil was awesome. Next time a little extra and some black pepper for an extra bang. (Caribbean family here!) Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Very good. I added 6 fresh mushrooms, 1 small white onion, 4 tomatoes, and extra vinegar and dried Italian seasoning. After fixing each plate, I added 1 T of non-dairy mozzarella on top and microwaved the plate on high for 1 minute. I had extra sauce left over & I'm guessing it will probably taste even better tomorrow.

Made this Zucchini Linguini today, August 1, 2017. Bought Balsamic vinegar today just for this recipe, but for the life of me, the top will not come off of the bottle. Do NOT buy Cadia Organic Balsamic Vinegar. Never saw this brand before. So instead I used another vinegar, White Wine. So it did not come out as delicious as I expected. The tomatoes are from my garden, as is the basil. I ate it, but I know it could be better. And glad it did not require pasta, as I fall ill from pasta. Best to require amount of soaking liquid, as mine has a bit to much liquid. I will try this again, now that am experienced making it.

can you make this with fresh tomatoes? My garden is loaded with them and I'd like to use them while I can

Yes. Recipe calls for fresh tomatoes

As a standalone recipe, I am sure it works great especially for the summer but as part of the aggressive weight loss plan it felt a bit blah...! I tried roasting the second serving of zucchini but it makes it runny and dilutes the sauce. Realised it's a raw version of pasta and sauce, not that great but I might make it again on days I am craving pasta as the sauce with garlic and basil has the same flavors.

I made zucchini noodles that were just a little larger than spaghetti. The sauce was divine! Very filling and delicious!

My family, which includes 2 picky teens (served theirs on a bit of pasta with the zucchini), really enjoyed this. For all those asking-- yes this uncooked. We did add some roasted red peppers to the red sauce and I used canned tomatoes as I am not a fan of raw tomatoes, we also added a tiny bit of fennel and oregano for seasoning. We blended all the sauce ingredients on the hot setting with my Blendtec. One of my picky eaters did blend his zucchini into his sauce and was fine with it. Love the idea of adding suteed mushrooms, will definitely do this in the future.

My husband and I enjoy Dr Fuhrman's recipes. However, this is not one of those. It tasted bitter and harsh. Not sure what I did incorrectly, I followed the recipe exactly. Will not be making this again. The website won't let me correct the stars, I rated it a 1 star, but two should up.

Must taste the basil and the sun dried tomato before making this dish - some basil can be very bitter. Then we'd know that the sauce will probably turn out bitter which saves us from making a disappointing recioe. I never blindly follow a recipe but keep taste-testing throughout process.
