01
Step 1
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, drop in the zucchini noodles and cook them for about 3 minutes until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite. Drain them and set aside.

Step 2
Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the green bell pepper and onion, along with a pinch of seasoned salt and sea salt, and cook for around 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then toss in the chicken sausage and cook until it’s nicely browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 3
Add the spinach, basil, garlic paste, and a little more seasoned salt to the skillet. Cook everything together until the spinach wilts, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

Now, place the zucchini noodles on a plate and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle a bit of sea salt over them and give them a gentle toss.
