  5. Coarsely cut the basil with a knife. Press the garlic with the Garlic Press, and add it to the processor bowl.
  6. Add the oil and process until all of the ingredients are combined. 
  7. Remove the pan from the microwave, stir in the zucchini noodles, and return to the microwave. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
  8. Add the tomato mixture and toss well.
  9. Grate Parmesan cheese over the pasta.
