Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups ziti pasta (uncooked)
8 ounces chicken sausage
1 teaspoon olive oil
5 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
2 cups onions, vertically sliced (about 1 onion)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded,)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Cook pasta in boiling water for 5 minutes, omitting salt and fat; drain.
  • Remove casings from sausage. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add sausage to pan; cook until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from pan. Heat oil in pan. Add zucchini, onion, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and zucchini begins to brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine broth and flour in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add broth mixture to pan; cook 1 minute. Combine zucchini mixture, pasta, sausage, and feta cheese in a large bowl; toss well.
  • Spoon pasta mixture into an 11x7" baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella.
  • Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have deep green skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, soft, or have blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help ensure that the zucchini cooks evenly.
  • Use a good quality sausage. Italian sausage is a classic choice, but you can also use turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or even ground beef.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. Zucchini is a delicate vegetable, so it's important to cook it just until it is tender-crisp.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese. Feta cheese is a tangy, salty cheese that adds a lot of flavor to this casserole. Look for feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh parsley, basil, or oregano.

Conclusion:

Zucchini sausage and feta casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
