Happy New Year! 2015 has arrived! Unfortunately, with a new year also often comes an extra handful or two of pounds. January is full of new resolutions and intentions to get healthier. Many NGPTers opted for our new Holiday Challenge to stay the course from Thanksgiving to New Year’s and I congratulate all who managed to maintain their weight or perhaps even lose some during this tricky time of the year. For all of us, let’s start the new year off right with miracle noodles – a carb free pasta alternative friendly to the plan and your waistline! No excuses with this quick one-skillet dish.
Spicy Chicken Sausage Spaghetti w Miracle Noodles http://www.miraclenoodle.com/t-Spicy-Chicken-Sausage-Spaghetti-W-Miracle-Noodles.aspx
- 1 lb package of spicy Italian chicken sausage, casings removed
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 14oz cans Fire Roasted Tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- ½ Tbsp Italian Seasoning
- ½ Tbsp basil
- 2 Packs Miracle Noodle Angel Hair
- 2 Tbsp Braggs Amino (low-sodium soy sub), optional
Rinse and drain noodles. Put them in a pan with Braggs and cook over med-high heat until noodles are dried and have absorbed the Braggs. Remove from pan and set noodles aside. In the same pan add chicken sausage and onion and cook until chicken is browned and cooked through. Add garlic and cook for 2 min then add tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and basil. Simmer on low for 5 min then add the miracle noodles and let simmer for additional 5 min. Salt and pepper to taste. Notice from the picture, I added slices jalapenos for even more spiciness!
As you can see I added jalapenos to my dish for extra spice! Can’t find spicy or Italian chicken sausage? Use ground turkey or chicken and add in extra spices – anything Italian or spicy. Make this to suit your taste! Feast for resolutions, feast for health, and as always…FEAST ON!!!
