Many years ago I started making my own spaghetti sauce. Don't get me wrong, jarred spaghetti sauce has it's place and time in my life too. But, when given the option, I will always prefer making my own. I've made several types and kind. Some in the crockpot, others with meatballs, this one though is easy, simple and full of tomato flavor.

This Zucchini Noodle Spaghetti is a perfect weeknight dinner to make when you're looking for something quick and easy that is also guilt-free and a more wholesome option. The sauce here is loaded up with big hearty chunks of tomato, onion, garlic, and fresh basil (the secret weapon.)

As I said, I used diced tomatoes here. That's because I love to have those pieces in there. But, if you're more of a traditional sauce person, feel free to choose another cut of tomato or even a 'no salt added' tomato sauce.

No matter what, in the end, you'll have a dinner for two that's just shy of 100 calories in a serving and just 16 carbs. Not bad for a big hearty bowl of spaghetti!
