      2. Place the tomatoes on a lined baking sheet . Drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
      3. Roast in the oven for about 35 to 45 minutes. Remove and let cool.
      4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook for about 7 minutes.
      5. Remove the soba noodles from the water. Add the zucchini noodles to the water and cook for only 1 minute. Drain the zucchini noodles. Run both the zucchini noodles and soba noodles under cold water, separating the soba noodles with your fingers if they are sticking.
