Cook the Sausage

Sauté Aromatics

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Prepare the Sauce

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried basil, and dried oregano. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4
Cook the Zucchini

Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.

5
Serve

Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
