For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken sausage and add a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas for added protein. To prevent watery zoodles, lightly salt them after spiralizing and let them sit for 15 minutes. Gently squeeze out any excess moisture before cooking. Feel free to experiment with other summer vegetables, such as yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, or corn.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Zucchini Noodles: Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the zucchini noodles and cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain well. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Cook time: 3 minutes)
02
StepSauté the Vegetables and Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced green bell pepper and white onion. Season with seasoned salt and sea salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Cook time: 8 minutes)
03
StepCombine and Finish: Stir in the fresh spinach, basil, and garlic paste. Cook until the spinach is just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. In a serving bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Add the sausage and vegetable mixture, and diced tomatoes. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately. (Prep time: 2 minutes, Cook time: 3 minutes)
