Use a spiralizer (hand or food processor) to make your zucchini noodles. Place on a towel and soak up extra moisture. Set aside.
In a large saute pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, onion and ground beef or turkey and chop until onions are nearly clear and meat is fully cooked. Drain if needed.
NOTE: For vegan, substitute meat for finely chopped portobello mushrooms. Cook onion first for 10 minutes then add mushrooms until soft.
Add chopped garlic, zucchini, and salt and pepper to taste. Saute for 5 minutes or until zucchini shows a bright green color.
Turn heat to medium. Slowly stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste and herbs and spices of your choosing.
(Personal recommendations: Basil, oregano, rosemary, parsley, paprika)
Bring sauce to a just boil then turn heat to low and simmer covered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt an pepper to taste one more time before serving. Top with grated Romano cheese.
