Whole30: Zoodles with Tomato Sausage Sauce

Part of a tbd series, sharing my favorite (easy) Whole30 recipes to make your 30 days more bearable!


This recipe doesn't take much and was hot and ready in about 30 minutes.




WHAT YOU'LL NEED 

3 small zucchini
Spiralizer, for zoodlin'
28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
   - double check for no added sugar. Hunt's passed the test!
Basil (fresh is better)
Garlic Salt
Pepper
Aidell's Chicken and Apple sausage
   - one of the only sausages out there with no added sugar
Garlic clove
Olive Oil

The steps are as easy to list as the ingredients!

First, wash your zucchini and slice one end off. Then, spiralize away. After you spiralize all 3 zucchini, set aside.



Pour your crushed tomatoes into a pot and heat up. When heated, mix in some pepper, garlic salt and basil. (It's really easy to make your own pasta sauce by seasoning it yourself, rather than buying whatever's on the shelf). Heat, stir, simmer.

Slice the chicken sausage. Pour a little bit of olive oil into a pan, press a garlic clove and heat up your garlic. When oil is hot, put in the slice of sausage and brown them. Even though they're already cooked, I think this gives them a bit of added flavor and texture and makes the sauce better. When they're browned to your liking, stir them into the sauce.


Serve and enjoy, hot on the table within 30 minutes and barely any mess to clean up. #kitchengoals
