Greg Jones says:
This is probably one of my favorite zucchini noodle recipes. Instead of using chicken sausage I used Cajun beef andouille sausage. It was really good and I definitely plan to make it again.
Jessica Scott says:
This is one of my favorite, quick weeknight dinners! Who knew sausage and zoodles went together so well? It's not only quick to make, but it tastes amazing. Cooking the zucchini noodles in the same oil from the skillet with the sausage was perfect because it soaks up all the flavor. Love it!
Sam Dalton says:
My wife made this dish for us the other night and it was really good. We are both trying to incorporate more vegetables in our diet, but I love meat, so for me this is the best of both worlds.
Katie Hason says:
These zucchini noodles with chicken sausage was incredible. Such a simple, easy dish but with so much flavor. I've made this recipe a few times, and also with pork andouille sausage. So good and filling!
