Today I’m presenting you with a refreshingly simple and beautiful lunch / dinner recipe. Zucchini noodles or zoodles with sautéed onion, tomato and basil is what I’ve been making a lot lately. This vibrant yet simple meal takes less than 20 minutes to make. Less time making it and more time devouring it.

Best Summer Recipe

Thanks to the summery combination of tomatoes on the vine which tend to be sweeter and more flavorful when in season and fragrant basil. This recipe is inspired by the freshest “farm to table dinner party” I had attended during our trip to Florence last summer.

Our outdoor basil plant is growing like a weed. Happy me ! I love my kitchen herb garden. The different aromas are so pleasing to the senses. I have Lavender, Basil, Chives, Thyme, Rosemary and lots and lots of mint and cilantro.

Spending time in my herb garden always transports me back to the best times we had spent in our trip to Italy and Tuscan countryside. It’s so charming and dreamy to cook with freshly picked herbs from the garden. Don’t you agree?

Al Fresco Dining :

Italian Style Zoodles made with all summery produce is best eaten al fresco. A good conversation on the outdoor patio, few sips of delicious wine and beautiful warm summer breeze will make this meal a picture perfect !!

As for dessert, a simple Coconut Chia Pudding with fresh fruit on the top will do the trick. I cannot recommend it enough.

How to Prep Zucchini Noodles

I also love zucchini noodles because they take very little time to cook. Zucchinis are made up of 95% water. So it’s important to try and get out excess water so you don’t have soggy noodles. The easiest way to do this is by putting them in a colander in the sink, sprinkling them with a little salt and letting the water drain out. Then, just pat them dry with a paper towel and they’re crisp and ready to go!
