Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Zucchini (large, for noodles)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 pound Italian sausage (sugar-free, keto-friendly)
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Pat the zoodles dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, breaking them into small pieces with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir it into the tomato sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
In a separate large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but not mushy. Remove from heat immediately.
Divide the zucchini noodles between four serving plates. Spoon the sausage tomato sauce over the noodles.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil on top for garnish before serving. Enjoy!
