Chicken Sausage with Vegetables and Shirataki Noodles Recipe

Chicken Sausage with Vegetables and Shirataki Noodles Recipe

This recipe was something I sort of threw together for a quick and easy meal on a day when I was totally swamped with work and just wanted something really quick, healthy, loaded with vegetables, gluten free, low carb, and Paleo.  Now thats a tall order but I had some Miracle Noodles on hand and some chicken sausage in the fridge so I put this together and it turned out amazing.  Posted a quick shot on Instagram (#TammySkyeRecipes)  and so many people wanted the recipe that I just had to share it here on FiberNoodles.

Not only is this recipe really quick and easy to make, but its also versatile.  You can use any of your favorite varieties and flavors of sausage for this recipe.  In this case, I used the uncured Asiago and Red pepper chicken sausage from Trader Joes, but it would be just as delicious with a rich italian sausage, or garlic and herb sausage.

I should mention that the healthiest sausage option is to make your own sausage patties or links using fresh ground turkey, beef, pork, or chicken and add your own seasoning and fresh herbs.  When you make your own homemade sausage, you have greater control over the amount of sodium in them and can avoid hidden sugars that are sometimes found in commercial sausage and links.

As a lover of Shirataki Noodles recipes, a super busy person (most days), and an everyday low carb dieter, this was a delicious recipe that tasted great and really hit the spot.  Doesn’t everybody love pasta?
