To make the marinara sauce:
Place all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor and blend or process until smooth.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. (Sauce will keep for 4-5 days).
To make the "pasta":
Run peeled zucchini through a spiralizer, placing in a large bowl. Randomly cut through "pasta" several times with kitchen shears to shorten the LONG strands.
Toss the "pasta" with enough marinara sauce to coat well and serve immediately.
Serve with extra sauce on the side.
