Pasta is such a great staple in a lot of homes. When I decided to eat more raw I thought this was going to be a thing of the past. Then I learned about using zucchini noodles and all sorts of tasty sauces.
Here is a wonderful tomato sauce recipe from Kristina Jackson on the Mahalo site. The only addition I make to this is some fresh chili powder to make it a spicy sauce.
