Every now and then something new comes along that inspires and delights me so much I'm motivated to make a new recipe.

This week while shopping at the local farmer's market, I met up with a new variety of zucchini appropriately named the "8 Ball". These little guys were so stupid cute that I had to buy a bunch of them- and I KNEW they would be just perfect for spiraling.

Because of their shape and size, these little zukes have little to no seeds and make for a GREAT noodle. When combined with spicy tomato basil chicken sausage and tomato sauce, this makes for a hearty one-dish Lean and Green meal that takes just minutes to prepare.

Super easy, quick and delicious this low carb meal is great as a Lean and Green Recipe, an HCG recipe or keto recipe.

Happy Cooking~

Add the chicken to the frying pan and cook for 7-8 minutes until sausage is slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
