Prepare your brussel sprouts. Chop the hard bottoms off and remove the outer leaves, if they look browned. Slice the brussel sprout length-wise, almost as in strips. Do this for all of the sprouts and set aside.

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add in 1/4 tbsp of the olive oil. Once the oil heats, add in the chorizo. Cook for 1 minute, add in the garlic and cook for another minute. Flip the chorizo over and cook for another 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.

In the same skillet, add in the red pepper flakes, cook for 30 seconds, and then add in the brussel sprouts, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Stir to cook for 5-7 minutes or until they soften and start to brown slightly.

While the sprouts are cooking, place a small skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet heats, add in the pine nuts. Cook for about 3 minutes, flipping twice, until the pine nuts brown slightly. Set aside.

Once the brussel sprouts are done, add in the zucchini noodles and the rest of the olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes or until zucchini softens. Add the chorizo back in and stir to combine.

Once combined, pour the brussel sprouts, chorizo and pasta into a plate and top with pine nuts!
