Steps:

• Use a spiralizer or mandolin set to julienne cut, and run all the zucchini through it. Put zucchini noodles in a strainer and toss with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let the excess water drain while you make the sauce.
• Add the tomatoes and rest of ingredients to a blender, and puree until smooth. Check for seasoning, you may need more lemon juice or soy sauce, you want the sauce to pop and be aggressively seasoned since it's raw.
• Add the zucchini noodles to a large bowl along with 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and toss to combine. Add enough of the marinara sauce to coat the noodles and toss well. Plate the noodles and garnish with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh chopped basil. Sauce can be made 1 day ahead and stored in the fridge.
