Ultimate Zucchini Noodle Medley with Summer Veggies & Chicken Sausage

Ingredients

• 2 fresh zucchini, sliced into noodle-like strands
• 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, split evenly
• ½ cup of diced green bell pepper
• A third cup of chopped white onion
• A tablespoon of well-seasoned salt (like Spike® seasoning)
• A pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste buds
• 2 sweet chicken sausages with peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 cup of freshly torn spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped basil
• 1 teaspoon of garlic paste
• A ripe, large tomato, finely diced
• ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Step 1

Begin by bringing a pot of water to a gentle boil, adding a touch of salt for flavor. Gently immerse the zucchini noodles into the bubbling water, allowing them to cook until they reach a delightful tenderness with a slight firmness to the bite, usually around 3 minutes. Once done, carefully drain them.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the vibrant green bell pepper and the aromatic onion, sprinkling them with seasoned salt and sea salt for about 3 minutes. Introduce the savory chicken sausage, cooking it until it boasts a lovely light brown hue, typically 4 to 5 minutes. Toss in the fresh spinach, fragrant basil, a hint of garlic paste, and a sprinkle of seasoned salt to your liking. Let this medley cook until the spinach gently wilts, which usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

To assemble this dish, place the cooked zoodles on a serving plate and drizzle them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Pile on the flavorful sausage mixture and the juicy tomatoes, finishing it off with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Season the dish with a final touch of salt and pepper for a burst of flavors.
