8 steps

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces chicken sausage or 8 ounces turkey sausage, uncooked and casing removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • salt, to taste
  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato, oil-packed (or reconstituted in hot water)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just al dente.
  2. 2
    While the water heats and the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and saute until cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and put it on a plate.
  3. 3
    Put the onion and the garlic in the saute pan, and cook for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  4. 4
    Add the zucchini and cook until lightly carmelized, about 5 more minutes.
  5. 5
    Season with salt and pepper.
  6. 6
    Add the sun-dried tomatoes, the stock, and the reserved sausage and keep warm until the pasta is ready.
  7. 7
    Drain the pasta and add it directly to the pan with the sausage and vegetables.
  8. 8
    Cook together for 30 seconds, turn off the heat, and sprinkle on the cheese just before serving.
