Inspired by several recipes here, I created this pasta skillet with what I had on hand, and everyone loved it! Nice change from regular pasta and meat, have to try it with fresh tomatoes when they are ready from the garden!

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
1 cup frozen peas
3 leaves fresh basil, julienned, or more to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil for pasta.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil and saute just until tender, about 5 minutes. Add kielbasa to the skillet and cook and stir until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, mushrooms, sugar, balsamic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Reduce heat and let sauce simmer while you cook pasta.
Add penne to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, stirring peas into pasta during last 2 minutes of cooking time.
Drain pasta and transfer to sauce. Stir to combine and add basil. Heat over medium-low heat so pasta can absorb liquid from sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right zucchini. Look for medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they can be tough and seedy.
Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
Brown the kielbasa before adding it to the zucchini. This will help to add flavor to the dish and prevent the kielbasa from becoming dry.
Use a well-seasoned skillet. This will help to prevent the zucchini and kielbasa from sticking.
Cook the zucchini and kielbasa over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
Stir the zucchini and kielbasa occasionally. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
Serve the zucchini and kielbasa immediately. They are best enjoyed hot.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and kielbasa is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
