Garden Zucchini and Italian Sausage Penne

If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you will notice that my weaknesses in life are; number 1- sweets of all kinds.  And number two- pasta.  If I’m not baking up something wickedly delicious, I am making pasta of all shapes and sizes.  I should have been born and raised in Italy.  I adore pasta.  It doesn’t matter what you put in it, on it, and around it, I will gobble it up no questions asked.  Nothing beats the real deal in the land of Italy of course, but I think I do a pretty good job.  This one is no exception.  I’ve never been a fan of Italian sausage, but I decided to add it to my pasta one night a couple of months ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since.  This pasta dish is loaded with garden fresh zucchini and Italian sausage.  For an extra special treat, pour this into a casserole dish, cover it in sliced, fresh mozzarella and put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.  Yum!  That is my absolute favorite thing in the world.  This recipe is so simple, it will take you no time at all. Have a great weekend friends!
