ingredients

  • 6 zucchini
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pounds Italian sausage
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 4 each minced garlic
  • 2 cups slow-roasted tomatoes
  • 4 cups spinach
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes

Method

  • Step 1

    Spiralize all 6 zucchini and make sure to have a bowl to catch the noodles

  • Step 2

    Place the noodles in a colander and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt on top. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw the moisture out. Grab a large towel and squeeze all the water out of the zucchini.

  • Step 3

    Place sausage in between 2 sheets of parchment paper and flatten. I use a rolling pin until I get ½ inch thickness.

  • Step 4

    Place sausage in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove from pan and roughly chop into nice size pieces.

  • Step 5

    In the same pan add olive oil, onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes on medium-high heat.

  • Step 6

    Add spinach, coconut milk, and seasonings. Cook until spinach is wilted and the sauce has reduced by half. To finish, toss in zucchini noodles and heat through.

  • Step 7

    To serve, place creamy zucchini pasta with fennel sausage in a pasta bowl and enjoy!
