Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 large white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 lbs cherry tomatoes or baby heirloom tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained from juices
  • 3 large zucchini
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil

Instructions

  • Begin by heating a large saute pan to medium high heat. Once hot, coat with oil, then add onion and garlic. Cook for just 2-3 minutes, then add in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to burst and the skins begin to caramelize.
  • Now stir in capers, cooking another 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the zucchini noodles. Spiralize the zucchini, and drain any excess water with paper towels. Place in a large bowl. Feel free to also saute your noodles (I prefer mine raw) for 2-3 minutes with some oil.
  • Pour sauce over the noodles. Add prosciutto slices. Serve with fresh basil.
