I'm looking for something flavorful I can put on my pretend spaghetti (squash and/or zucchini strips) so I can eat a ton of it with very little points.

Why tomato sauce? Italians have a world of pasta toppings that don't remotely involve tomatoes. Dunno how points are derived, but you can use a quality full fat ricotta, thinned w/some pasta cooking water (or hot salted water in your case), combined with steamed broccoli florets. Add a few gratings of pecorino. Like this, if you need a whole recipe: LINK /

I like squash/zucchini taken into a greek/mediterranean direction...saute your veg for a few minutes in EVOO, chopped onion and garlic, add a couple tablespoons tomato puree, a couple teaspoons chopped fresh mint, and a bit of salt. Cook over medium heat until the squash is as tender as you like. Sprinkle each serving with a little crumbled feta. Serve w/a dollop of greek yogurt, chopped parsley & chopped cucumbers on the side, if you need variety on the plate.
