Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon
olive oil
-
1 pound
spicy Italian chicken sausauge
-
1 pound
sweet Italian chicken sausage
-
3
peppers (red, orange, and yellow) chopped into 1-inch x 2-inch strips
-
2
medium onions rough-chopped into 1-inch pieces
-
6
garlic cloves, smashed & rough chopped
-
1 teaspoon
salt & pepper
-
3
small zucchini, zoodled
-
1
23-ounce jar of your favorite pasta sauce (I used Ragu's new Homestyle Thick & Hearty Roasted Garlic)
-
10
fresh basil leaves, cut into long thin strips
-
4 ounces
each of these 3 cheeses, shredded: Mozzarella, Parmesan, & Asiago
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Cook sausage in olive oil for 10-12 minutes over medium-high heat (turning over once) and set aside.
-
Cook peppers and onions in the same pan for 8 minutes. Add garlic, salt and pepper and cook for 4 more minutes.
-
While the vegetables are cooking, zoodle your zucchinis. Then cut the strands into ~8 inch pieces (this does not have to be precise, but cutting the zoodles now will make it easier to serve).
-
Stir the pasta sauce into the pan with the peppers and onions. Slice the sausage into ½ inch pieces and add to the pan as well.
-
Fold zucchini noodles and basil into the mixture and allow to cook for 4 minutes on medium-low. Transfer to a 9x13 baking dish, and top with cheese.
-
Bake on 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted.
