Gluten-Free Moroccan Spaghetti is a new twist on a classic dish. Made with a little Harissa which is a red chili pepper paste. Full of vegetables and sweet Italian Sausage. Made with a zingy and zesty slightly spicy chili sauce. Each and every delectable bite is full of vegetables and sausage. A unique and flavorful sauce. Enjoy with spaghetti squash or gluten-free pasta.
Gluten-Free Moroccan Spaghetti:
Needless to say, I have been making this recipe for my family for years. Hence, when I made it the other night my family asked if the recipe was on my blog. I went to look and saw it was not. Therefore, I am adding it to my blog. Consequently, carbs can be lowered simply by omitting bell peppers and carrots. Subsequently, I created this recipe because I had three items in my pantry. What were those items? As a matter of fact, they were Harissa, Sweet Italian Sausage, and Spaghetti Squash. Nevertheless, those three ingredients are what inspired this recipe. In any case, this is one of my family’s favorites to eat with spaghetti squash or zoodles.
At any rate, I purchased organic Sweet Italian Sausage with no nitrates and no sugar. In any case, Harissa can be found in mild and spicy. Amazon sells Avocado Oil. Nevetheless, I personally prefer the mild Harissa to the spicy.
Personal Notes:
This has been a tough time for me dealing with my brother’s death. Thank you for continuing to read my blog while I took time to myself to grieve.
