Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Select firm, unblemished zucchini that are about 6 inches long. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be tough and seedy.
- Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Brown the sausage first: This will help to render out the fat and add flavor to the dish. Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned on all sides.
- Cook the zucchini until it is tender: Zucchini should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Cook the zucchini over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until it is tender.
- Add the sauce and cheese: Stir in the tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately: Skillet zucchini and sausage is best served immediately. Garnish with fresh basil or oregano, if desired.
