Zucchini Pasta with Chicken Sausage

My health coach posted this wonderful meal the other day and I finally tried it. I've tried zucchini pasta before and wasn't a fan, but this time used my new spiralizer to make noodles and it was great! Or…maybe it was the delicious sauce. I love alfredo sauce and was so excited to see that this was an approved meal. It was so incredible that I practically licked my plate afterwards.

I did make a couple switches from the original recipe. First, I'm not a broccoli fan, so I just made a full 3 servings of zucchini (1.5 cups). Second, I saw bell peppers as ingredients for the sausages and that wasn't my style, so I picked a Trader Joe's Tomato Basil Chicken Sausage (110 calories per link). I have to say, it was a fantastic choice. The sausages are fully cooked, so you can either heat them in the microwave or do what I did and get a nice sear in the pan. Regardless of what you choose to do, please enjoy this wonderful lean and green meal!!

Ingredients:
1 link of Trader Joes spicy Italian chicken sausage
1 link of Trader Joes sweet Italian chicken sausage
1 cup zucchini noodles
1/2 cup broccoli
1/4 cup Bertolli light alfredo sauce
1 tsp grated parmesan cheese

Use spiral slicer to make zucchini noodles and throw them in a sauce pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan and let cook for about 3 minutes. Steam the broccoli and heat the chicken sausage. Mix the noodles, broccoli, chicken sausage and sauce in a bowl. Top with 1 tsp grated parmesan cheese.
