Step 1

Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the zucchini noodles and cook them just until they’re tender but still have a little bite, about 3 minutes. Drain them well and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the green bell pepper, onion, and a pinch of seasoned salt along with some sea salt. Cook everything, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until the veggies start to soften.

Next, throw in the chicken sausage and cook it until it’s lightly browned, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes. Then add the spinach, fresh basil, and garlic paste, seasoning with more salt to your taste. Keep cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to prevent the zucchini noodles from becoming mushy. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the vegetables and noodles may be compromised.
