Earlier this summer I got a little obsessed with Zucchini Noodles, and since then I've been trying my hardest to tempt everyone to try them. I've shared Zucchini Noodle Mock Pasta Salad and Chicken Pesto Zucchini Noodle Salad, as well as zucchini noodles with peanut-Sriracha sauce, Mexican flavors, and pasta sauce. And even after all this zucchini noodle fan-girl swooning from yours truly, I bet there are still quite a few readers out there who still haven't tried them. Whether you're one of those people or a committed zucchini noodle fan like me, I hope you pay attention when I tell you, you simply MUST try this recipe for Zucchini Noodles with Spicy Cherry Tomato, Sausage, Garlic, and Herb Sauce.
The sauce here is a meatier version of Spicy Cherry Tomato Sauce for Pasta that I first made back in 2006, and I've loved that sauce for years over my favorite whole wheat spaghetti, but I think the fresh flavors of the sauce go even better with zucchini noodles. When I tested this recipe with my niece Kara, the entire time we were eating it we both kept saying over and over how good it was, and Kara reports that the leftovers were just as good when she reheated them. Make this now while zucchini is still cheap and plentiful!
