Insanely Delicious Sausage and Zucchini Pasta

Pasta is by far one of my favorite foods which is why I was so happy to learn about this delicious recipe from my roommate! It really is so good and super easy to make so it’s a perfect meal for busy college students to make.

My college roommates and I have made this recipe so many times this semester and it’s always so good. I can’t wait to make it for my family over break! (they are going to be so surprised that I can make something other than kraft mac and cheese haha)

If you’re looking for a fast, budget-friendly, and delicious recipe to make with friends or family, this pasta recipe was made for you!

I hope that you enjoy it as much and my friends and I do and make sure to let me know in the comments if you try it. It really is delish!

Ingredients:

Cavatappi or Cellentani Pasta
Zucchini
Mozzarella
Sausage: half sweet & half spicy but if they don’t have that package get all spicy
Salt
Vegetable or olive oil
Tomato: not needed but definitely doesn’t hurt
Basil: if you like basil this takes it to a whole other level

Cooking Supplies:

Pot
Pan
Oven mitts
Pasta strainer
Cutting board
Knife
Wooden spoon

Directions:

Boil water in a pot and add salt to boiled water.
Add pasta to boiled water and set a timer according to box directions (around 10 minutes).
While pasta is cooking pull sausage out of the casing and break it into small pieces in a pan with a little oil.
Cook sausage until fully cooked (approximately same time as pasta).
Add thinly cut zucchini and sliced tomatoes to the sausage pan and cover until the zucchini is soft.
Strain pasta and add it to the pan with zucchini and sausage.
Add small pieces of mozzarella cheese and cook until it’s all melted. (in my opinion the more cheese the better)
Give the pasta a final stir, add some salt and it’s ready to eat!!
