ZUCCHINI SPAGHETTI WITH SUN GOLD TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• To make the zucchini spaghetti noodles: Attach the zucchini to a spiral slicer to slice the zucchini into thin strips. Set the noodles aside in a large bowl while you make the sauce. To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, red chili flakes, star anise, and thyme, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and vinegar and stir gently to combine. Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes have released their juices, about 8 minutes. Discard the star anise and thyme sprigs, and add the zucchini noodles and remaining salt. Toss gently to coat the noodles with the sauce and cook for another 2 minutes to warm the noodles.
