Zucchini Noodles with Sausage, Spinach & Parmesan-Lemon SauceZucchini Noodles with Sausage, Spinach & Parmesan-Lemon Sauce — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby spinach

355 ml chicken or vegetable broth

3 cloves garlic

1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

1 ½ lemons

170 g Parmesan cheese

½ cup pine nuts

6 pork sausages

6 medium zucchini squash

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

salt

thyme, dried

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F). Coat a baking sheet pan with a thin layer of oil.

Arrange sausages on the baking sheet and place in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated); roast, flipping once, until sausages are golden and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Transfer to a plate.

Finely grate Parmesan and add to the plate with the parsley (keeping them separate); set aside.

Trim zucchini and use a julienne (or regular) peeler to make noodles; place in a large bowl and set aside.

Peel and mince garlic; place in a large pot.

Juice lemons into the pot with the garlic.

Mince pine nuts and add to the pot along with broth, oil, and spices; set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.

Once the liquid in the pot comes to a simmer, add zucchini noodles and cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 4 minutes.

Add spinach to the pot in handfuls, waiting for the spinach to wilt slightly before adding the next handful.

Add parsley and half of the Parmesan (reserve remaining cheese for serving) to the pot; stir to combine and remove from heat.

When the sausages are done, transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise into rounds.

To serve, divide saucy zucchini noodles and sausage between bowls; top with remaining Parmesan and enjoy!
