Ingredients

  • 4 oz Angel Hair Pasta
  • 1 med Zucchini
  • 1 med Red Onion thinly sliced/ diced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 12 oz Smoked Sausage sliced & halved
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Slice the zucchini and red onion. Set aside.
  • Slice and halve the sausage. Transfer to a hot saute pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often. (Alternately, you can grill the sausage if you prefer! Just grill it whole, then slice it after it's cooked.) Set aside.
  • To cook the vegetables, heat about 2 TBSP olive oil in a saute pan on the stove. Add zucchini and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add onion and garlic, cook another 3-4 minutes. I take my vegetables off the stove when I see they're almost done, being as they cook a bit more even after removing from the heat. Combine the sliced sausage & vegetables, so that the flavors begin to combine.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions. Angel hair pasta normally only takes 5-6 minutes to cook, so I usually heat the water when I start cooking the zucchini. The pasta is ready to go in at about the time I begin cooking the onions. Everything is done at the same time!
  • Drain pasta. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss with zucchini sausage mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve with additional Parmesan & enjoy!
