📖 Instructions

1. First things first, gather your ingredients! Make sure your sausage is nice and cold, and your zucchini is fresh and firm. I like to wash the zucchini just before I use it, as it keeps it extra crisp.
2. Next up, get that spiralizer going! If you don’t have one, a vegetable peeler works fine, but it takes a little longer. Aim for long, thin zoodles. Don’t worry about perfection; they don't need to look like they came from a fancy restaurant.
3. Now, get your pan ready! Heat the large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the sausage and break it up with a spoon. Cook it until it’s lightly browned and cooked through—usually about 8-10 minutes, depending on how thick your slices are.
4. Once your sausage is almost done, add your zoodles! Stir them in with the sausage and cook for another 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the zoodles are tender-crisp. You’ll know they're ready when they still have a slight bite but are not crunchy at all.
5. Time for some flavor! Stir in the lemon zest, parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the zoodles are coated evenly. Give it a good stir, making sure everything is nicely combined.
6. Taste and adjust! Does it need a bit more lemon? Salt? Pepper? Go for it! Don’t be shy! This is your recipe now, tweak it to your liking. Cooking is all about experimenting, right?
7. Serve immediately! This dish is best served hot, right out of the pan. Garnish with extra parmesan, if you're feeling fancy. Enjoy this beautiful and healthy dish!
