Squash, Spinach, Sausage

I don't have a name for this meal, since it was something Em and I threw together with things from our fridges. But it was still good, and can be easily altered and added to depending on what veggies you have. This made enough for 2 relatively hungry girls.

Maybe a bit blurry, but it still looks good


3 summer squash (or zucchini)
1 lb ground sausage (any kind of meat, this was probably chicken)
a couple handfuls of spinach
Garlic
Oil
Salt + pepper
Parmesan (unless you're strict Paleo)


In a skillet, cook the ground sausage. While it's cooking, make "noodles" out of your squash. I used a potato peeler and just peeled the squashes down to the seedy parts. When the sausage is done, put it on a paper towel-covered plate. Then toss the squash noodles into the empty-but-hot pan with some oil and garlic. Let these cook, stirring frequently until they're soft-ish, probably around 8 minutes (depending on how crunchy you like your "noodles"). A few minutes before the squash is done, throw in a few handfuls of spinach, and let those wilt while the squash finishes cooking. Then toss in your sausage to let it all heat together. Salt, pepper, and parmesan, then serve.
