Ingredients: • 4 chicken sausages • 8 oz penne or fusilli pasta • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 teaspoon dried oregano • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) • Salt and black pepper, to taste • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving Instructions: 1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside. 2. Brown the Chicken Sausages: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken sausages and cook, turning occasionally, for 5–7 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove sausages from the pan, slice into rounds, and set aside. 3. Sauté Garlic & Zucchini: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 3–4 minutes, until it begins to soften. 4. Add Tomatoes & Seasonings: Stir in the cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened. 5. Combine & Finish: Return the sliced sausages to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water, stirring to combine and heat everything through. 6. Garnish & Serve: Serve hot, topped with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes
