low carb Italian Sausage Skillet - Serves 4


1 pound ground Italian Sausage, hot or mild
1 can Hunts Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Garlic , 14.5 oz
1 cup baby spinach
2 medium zucchinis spiralized, about 3 cups of "zoodles"
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 Tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Squeeze of lemon juice- about 1/2 Tsp

First thing you need to do is spiralize your zucchini into noodles. Refer to the video above for the how I do it and check out the link at the bottom of this post to get the one I use in the video. Or you can buy them already prepared at your local grocery store.
In a large nonstick skillet heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat.
Add in the ground sausage breaking up the pieces in the pan. Continue to stir and break into smaller pieces until cooked through.
Then add in the entire can of diced tomatoes (do not drain) and mix well.
Allow the tomatoes to warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Then add in the spices- Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix well.
Add in the baby spinach, mix well and allow the spinach to cook and wilt down about 2 minutes.
Then add in the zoodles and mix well. Allow the zoodles to warm through and cook down for about 3 minutes. They will still be al dente.
Then sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top followed by the mozzarella.
Turn off the heat on the stove and allow the cheese to melt about 1 minutes.
Right before serving squeeze a tiny bit of lemon on top of the whole skillet.
The lemon will wake up the flavors but you won't taste lemon - similar to my Rustic Chicken Soup recipe.
Enjoy!
