A few years ago, we started a garden at our house and we grew zucchini. Anyone who grows zucchini knows that it starts growing and just keeps going! That was the year that I found out that my family loves Zoodles! AKA Zucchini noodles! I wanted to share this super simple, yummy zoodle recipe with you! Zoodles with Sausage and Mushrooms is the perfect healthy recipe for weeknights and is so easy to put together when you have a delicious jar of New
RAGÚ® Simply Chunky Marinara Pasta Sauce on hand in the pantry! 
The thing I love about this recipe is that my kids think this tastes just like spaghetti! They are pretty picky eaters and they ate this for dinner and were looking for more! When the Pasta Sauce is on the veggie noodles with cheese and sausage, it gives you the same burst of amazingly fresh Italian flavors as spaghetti does, with extra nutrition from the veggies! Another reason I love this pasta sauce is because it is made with 100% Olive Oil and no added sugar or artificial flavors but all of the punch of a slow cooked marinara sauce: onions, garlic & tomatoes power pack each bite with flavor! You don’t even need to tell anyone that you didn’t slave over the stove all day cooking your sauce and no one will know.
How to make Zoodles:
All you need to make your own quick zoodles (zucchini noodles) is a veggie spiralizer or a regular potato peeler. All you need to do is make long noodle like strips of zucchini or squash and you have zoodles! Very easy to make!!
