• Meanwhile, cut onion in half, remove the outer layer, and slice into thin strips. Rinse tomatoes and slice in half.
• When oil is hot, toss onion slices in the pan and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Once the onions are beginning to look translucent, add tomatoes and sausage and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon each). Your tomatoes will begin to release their juices, and it will collect in the pan. Once you see the tomato juice, it's time to add zucchini.

• Add zucchini noodles to skillet. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Use tongs to toss and coat zucchini. Cook until desired texture is reached. I like mine like al dente pasta, about 3 minutes.
