Spicy Sausage, Zucchini & Onion Pasta

The other night I had no grand plan and just made a dish that I thought would be hearty, spicy and filling and lucky for me it was all of that plus tasty. The red pepper flakes with the spicy sausage really set off the sweetness of the onions and zucchini and I must say I will be making this throw together dish again.

Spicy Sausage, Zucchini & Onion Pasta: Serves 2

4oz Pasta
2 Hot Italian Turkey Sausage Links (Approx 3-4oz each)
1 Small Zucchini - Sliced
1 Medium Onion - Sliced
2tsp Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves - Minced
1/4tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1/4C Parmesan Cheese
1C Tomato Sauce
1TB Fresh Basil (1tsp dried)
Salt & Pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking place the sausage in a frying pan and cook through, browning on all sides. Once cooked, slice into thin discs and set to the side. In a separate large saute pan place the olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes over medium heat and cook for a minute. Add the onions with some salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes then add the zucchini with more salt and pepper and continue to stir fry until tender.

Once the pasta, sausage and vegetables are done place them all together in the saute pan and add the tomato sauce and basil together and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, split into 2 bowls and top with the Parmesan. Serve and Enjoy.
