Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds kielbasa, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
2 zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
2 yellow squash, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with basil
½ cup white wine
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add kielbasa and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; saute until vegetables soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add tomatoes, wine, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; simmer for 20 minutes. Add cooked pasta and simmer for 10 more minutes.
Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
