Ingredients

  • 2 cups zucchini
  • 3 cups peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 links Italian Sausage
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasonings
  • grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large saute pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat up pan. Add the Italian sausage and cook for a few minutes.

  2. Once the sausage starts to brown, add in the peppers, salt and Italian seasonings. Once the peppers start to soften add in the garlic and cook for a few more minutes.

  3. Meanwhile using a potato peeler, make your wide zucchini noodles. 

  4. When sausage mixture is done, add in the zucchini noodles and mix to combine. I don't pre cook the zucchini because they will wilt with the hot sausage mixture and I like them al dente.

     However if you wish to have softer noodles, place them in microwave for 30 second intervals until done to your liking. Just a minute or two. Then add to the pepper mixture and mix well to combine.

  5. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
