Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini, cut into noodle-shape strands
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup chopped white onion
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as Spike® seasoning)
  • 1 pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 sweet pepper chicken sausages, sliced
  • 1 cup lightly torn fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook zucchini noodles (zoodles) in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes; drain.

Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green bell pepper, onion, seasoned salt, and sea salt for 3 minutes. Add chicken sausage and cook until sausage is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add spinach, basil, garlic paste, and seasoned salt to taste; cook until spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3
Place zoodles on a serving plate and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sea salt. Add sausage mixture and tomatoes and top with Parmesan cheese; season with salt and pepper.

Cook’s Notes:

Cut zucchini into noodle shapes by using a mandolin or spiralizing device.
