Recipe Steps

Add the noodles and cook for an additional 4 minutes. You’ll be shocked by how much the noodles cook down.

Stir in the tahini sauce and water and serve your creamy zucchini noodles dish hot.

- Don’t be surprised if it looks like there will be too many noodles; zucchini noodles cook down a lot.
- Feel free to double or even triple this recipe. Just be sure to use a very large skillet so everything fits!

My zoodles never look this perfect haha! Love the addition of tahini in there too <3
Hi Georgie! Well, I feel so flattered that my zoodles turned out so well. I love my new spiralizer!
Pasta and sausage is one of my favorite dishes ever, I used to eat it all the time as a little kid!! Love it!
I still love pasta, Dana! I guess you could say this is a grown-up version of a childhood fav, Dana! XOXO.
This looks incredible. So hearty, fresh, and filling. Thanks for sharing!
eKK! I’m so excited for you, my dear. You are on your way to becoming the spiralizer QUEEN and this is a great first entry. Congrats!
Love the short list of ingredients… Using the sausage for depth and complexity of flavor!
Thanks, Rachel. XOXO!
I think if you want to try this with sweet potato instead of zucchini, that would be sweet poodles! Haven’t tried this yet, but have it on my short list of recipes. Looks delicious as well as quick and easy – what more could one want?
Oh my gosh, Lizbeth, that is hilarious, yes!!! Sweet poodles, ha ha ha!
I am such a fan of this easy meal. Love it!
