Italian Sausage "Fettuccine"

IMG_4083

This simple, satisfying meal of Italian sausage and “fettuccine” was inspired by the cauliflower recipe I shared last week. Italian chicken sausage comes together with spiralized zucchini, spices, and almond flour in this delicious bowl. The seasonings and almond flour mixture act as Italian “breadcrumbs.”

Meanwhile, snow is coming down in Portland. I actually haven’t seen this much snow in the city since my first winter here, back in 2008. It’s beautiful, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn’t impact my early morning flight to Kentucky today. I have some buffer room to get there, as my seminar doesn’t start until Saturday morning, but the less hiccups, the better. Really though, I kinda wish the snow would have held off until next week, but it is what it is. The same can be said about this head cold that I got too. Quite the combo to get right before a weekend of travel, but I guess it makes it that much more of an adventure (well, minus the being sick part)

Cheers!

Italian Sausage & “Fettuccine”

Ingredients:

  • ~1 lb bulk Italian chicken sausage
  • 1 Tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee, separated
  • 1 large or 2 small/medium zucchini, noodled with a spiralizer (straight blade attachment)
  • 3 Tbsp blanched almond flour
  • 1.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dessicated garlic
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling, optional

Directions:

  1. Melt 1/2 tbsp of grass-fed butter or ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the chicken sausage. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up large chunks with a spatula.
  2. Once sausage is browned, after 5-7 minutes or so, transfer to a large serving bowl and set aside.
  3. To the same pan, add the noodled zucchini and heat briefly over medium-low heat. After a couple minutes, transfer to the bowl with the sausage.
  4. Combine the almond flour, oregano, dessicated garlic, sea salt and pepper in a small bowl. Melt the remaining butter or ghee in the same pan over medium-low heat and then add the almond flour mixture.
  5. Stir mixture, allowing it to soak up the butter and continue to cook a few minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Sprinkle on top of the sausage and zucchini. Serve warm and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Add more sea salt and pepper to taste, if needed. If you tolerate some dairy, you could also sprinkle on a bit of raw Parmesan cheese.

Yields: 2-3 servings

    I know I’ll like this as much as the cauliflower (I have 2 heads to make a bigger pan this weekend). Hope you have a safe trip without weather delays and that your cold is over quickly. Enjoy your seminar!

    You might have to let me know the brand name of your spiralizer, I might want one. Is that your new bowl? Your fettuccine looks real yummy in it!

      Yep, that’s my new bowl! Isn’t it pretty? The brand of my sprializer is Paderno and it come with 3 different attachment blades. Here’s the link to it on Amazon if you want to check it out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007Y9WHQ?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B0007Y9WHQ&linkCode=xm2&tag=painpd-20. I got mine off Amazon and at the time, it was under $30. The price changes every now and again, but I think on average, they’re around $30-$35. You can use it for lots of different veggies too (carrots, zucchini, summer squash, sweet potatoes/yams, butternut squash, rutabaga, etc.
