Greek Style Zoodles with Tomatoes

Greek-style zoodles with tomatoes is a fresh, healthy, and vibrant dish that brings together the lightness of zucchini noodles with the classic flavors of Greek cuisine. The zoodles (zucchini noodles) serve as a perfect, low-carb substitute for traditional pasta, and when paired with juicy, sweet tomatoes, tangy feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil, this dish becomes both satisfying and refreshing.

To make this dish, start by spiralizing fresh zucchini into noodles. You can either leave the zoodles raw for a crisp texture or sauté them briefly in olive oil for a slightly tender bite. If you prefer a softer texture, you can cook them a little longer, but be careful not to overcook them, as they can become too watery.

For the tomato component, use ripe, juicy tomatoes – cherry tomatoes work wonderfully here, as they burst with flavor when cooked. Sauté the tomatoes in olive oil, adding a bit of garlic for depth and seasoning with salt, pepper, and dried oregano to capture that Mediterranean flavor. As the tomatoes cook down, they release their juices, creating a light, flavorful sauce for the zoodles.

Once the zoodles are ready, toss them in the pan with the cooked tomatoes, allowing the flavors to meld. A sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese adds a creamy, salty contrast to the fresh vegetables, and Kalamata olives bring a briny kick that enhances the overall flavor profile. For an extra burst of freshness, garnish the dish with chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley.

Greek-style zoodles with tomatoes are not only quick and easy to make but also customizable. You can add a protein such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas to turn it into a more substantial meal. You can also add other vegetables like cucumber, red onion, or bell peppers for more color and crunch.

This dish is light, nutrient-packed, and full of Mediterranean flavors. It’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a refreshing summer meal when you’re craving something light but flavorful. With minimal ingredients and a lot of taste, Greek-style zoodles with tomatoes offer a delightful and healthy twist on traditional pasta dishes.
