Anyone else have zucchini coming out of their ears? We do, but I love it! Here is a dish I make often, mainly because it's delicious and super quick to throw together. I always make the dish with angel hair pasta since it doesn't have a sauce. The flavors of the zucchini and sausage meld together nicely and produce enough flavor, no sauce is needed!
Note: This dish comes together very fast! Everything cooks at once and is on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Easy Zucchini Pasta
1/2 box Angel Hair pasta
1 medium- large zucchini
1 medium red onion
1 package smoked or Kielbasa sausage
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
olive oil
Slice the zucchini and red onion. Before cooking the vegetables, you'll want to start the sausage. Depending on what kind you get, it might take 10-12 minutes to cook, so you'll want to cook both the sausage and the vegetables simultaneously so they are both done around the same time. If you grill the sausage like I did, grill for about 10 minutes, let it sit about 2-3 minutes, then slice. If you're cooking it on the stove, slice, then saute it in the pan.
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!
Serve pasta topped with zucchini- sausage mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
