Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground Italian sausage (I used sweet Italian sausage from Butcherbox) See notes above re:spices*
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 3 cups quartered zucchini or 2 large zucchini
  • 2 teaspoons Bell seasoning or a mix of oregano, parsley, rosemary, pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, optional

Instructions

  • Pour the oil into a large skillet on medium high heat then add the ground sausage. Cook sausage until browned. Remove from skillet into a covered dish to keep warm.
  • Add the onions and zucchini into the same skillet. Add seasonings, garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper if using. Cook until onions are translucent and zucchini is fork tender. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  • Add sausage back in the skillet and toss together. Sprinkle in mozzarella cheese if using and toss to combine and cook on low until cheese is melted.
  • Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve.
  • Store left overs in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
