How to prepare Pasta with sautéed zucchini and salamella sausage

Stir occasionally and cook for around 10 minutes. Lastly, add the parsley 10. Add a drizzle of oil to a larger pan (you'll need it to sautée the pasta), then the sausages 11. Brown for 5 minutes, stirring thoroughly all the while 12. In the meantime, cook the pasta in boiling, lightly salted water.

Add the sautéed zucchini 13 and a couple of ladles of pasta cooking water 14. Drain the pasta when firm to the bite and add to the saucepan 15. Once cooked, add cooking water as needed.
