1 Tbsporegano

½ Tbspbasil

½ tspsalt

½ tsppepper

Instructions

Step 1

Measure out and prep all your ingredients, including removing the stems and cutting the mushrooms into quarters, dicing the onion, and removing sausage from casings.

Step 2

In a large skillet, sauté the zucchini in olive oil on medium heat and cook through, about 4-5 minutes. When done, pour the zucchini spirals into a colander to drain and set aside.

Step 3

Add the diced onions and mushroom quarters to the same pan, adding a bit more olive oil if necessary, and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.

Step 4

Using a spatula, move the mushrooms and onions to the edges of the pan, leaving the center of the pan empty for the sausage. Add the sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes until it is browned, breaking it up with a spatula and mixing it in with the mushrooms and onions as it cooks.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes, pizza sauce, and spices, stirring together and cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 6

Mix zucchini spirals in with the sausage and sauce, stirring together for about a minute.

Step 7

Serve topped with olive slices, and fresh oregano or basil.

Step 8

NOTES

Step 9

A note about the sausage - we've tried several different kinds of sausage with this recipe, from organic breakfast sausage from Whole Foods, to Italian turkey sausages from our local butcher where I just remove the sausage from the casings. Use your favorite!

Step 10

A note about zucchini spirals - You can easily do your own or buy them already spiraled from your local grocer. Frozen zucchini spirals, skip the pan sauté and just heat them in them microwave before adding the sauce.

Step 11

A note about tomatoes - the canned Fire Roasted Tomatoes have the best flavor. You can also use fresh cherry or grape tomatoes. Just swap out the canned for 1 pint of fresh tomatoes and be sure to cut them in half before cooking.

Step 12

Off round and if you're feeling Whole30-ish, some fresh shaved Parmigiano Reggiano tastes great on this. And if you're not an olive fan, just omit them.
