1 lb lean Italian turkey sausage, raw, casings removed
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic minced
2 cups of your favorite marinara/red sauce

How to make zoodles
A regular vegetable peeler is all you need to make zoodles. Just cut off the zucchini ends, then slice from top to bottom, making long, thin ribbons. Of course, if you have a mandoline slicer or a spiralizer, they work well too. To pull the extra water out of the zucchini before cooking, add a little Kosher salt and place in a colander for 10-15 minutes. Then, pat dry with paper towels.
