Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sausage with Zucchini Noodles

Directions

1. Directions

2. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles

3. Spiralize the zucchini into noodles (zoodles) and set aside.
4. To reduce excess moisture, lightly sprinkle the zoodles with salt and let them sit in a colander for about 10 minutes. Pat dry with a clean towel.

5. Cook the Sausage

6. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until browned and cooked through (about 7-8 minutes). Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

7. Make the Sauce

8. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
9. Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
10. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce.

11. Combine Everything

12. Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet. Gently toss in the zucchini noodles, stirring to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce.
13. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the zoodles (do not overcook, as they can become soggy).

14. Garnish and Serve

15. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
