Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 2 spicy Italian sausages, casings removed
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 zucchini, sliced lengthwise, then thinly sliced (into 1/2 circles)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons minced thyme
  • 2 ½ cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • ½ pound bucatini
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté sausage until browned and crumbled, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from pot with a slotted spoon, set aside and discard grease.
  • Place pot back onto the stove and add remaining oil. Sauté onions for 4 to 5 minutes. Add zucchini and garlic and continue to sauté for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in thyme and add sausage back into the pot and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Pour stock into the pot and bring to a boil. Add pasta and lower heat to medium. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and pasta is al dente. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top pasta with parmesan and carefully toss until well combined. Adjust seasonings and serve with extra fresh grated parmesan.
