Zucchini and Sausage Milano image

Always looking for new zucchini ideas and my kids like Italian sweet (mild) sausages. I add 1 box of cooked penne and split the portions into 2 aluminum containers and froze them. I will defrost it and reheat it in the oven. When it is warmed through, add cheese on top then until melted. This recipe as described makes 2 "dinners" for about 5. You can serve it all at once for about 10.

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs Italian sausage, whatever you kind you like, about 14-16 large sausages
2 medium onions, cut into wedges and separated
6 -8 large zucchini, cut into coins
2 (1 lb) jars tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1 (1 lb) box penne

Steps:

  • Fry the sausages in a large skillet until lightly browned. Remove the sausages and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the grease in the pan.
  • Meanwhile, boil the pasta; drain; set aside.
  • Fry the zucchini and onion in the pan grease until slightly tender. Add remaining ingredients, except the cheese. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, covered, stirring a bit.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and vegetables and blend.
  • Place the mixture in a large baking dish and put in the sausages; or divide the mixture into 2 baking dishes for 2 separate dinners with half the amount of sausages in each.
  • If you want to freeze for future use, do so now; add the cheese when you reheat.
  • If making to eat now, add the cheese to the top and bake in 350 degree F. oven until cheese melts.
