Ingredients:

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 6 ounce spaghetti
  • 1 Zucchini
  • 1 Roma Tomato
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 Chili Pepper
  • 9 ounce Italian Pork Sausage
  • 2 tablespoon Garlic Herb Butter
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper

    Garlic Herb Butter

    • 1 cup butter room temperature
    • 1 clove garlic minced
    • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
    • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley minced
    • 1 Tablespoon fresh basil minced
    • 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice fresh

Directions:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add spaghetti. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.
  • Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inchthick half-moons. Dice tomato; toss in a small bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Thinly slice half the chili (if you like spicy food, slice the whole thing). Quarter lemon. Remove sausage from casing; discard casing.
  • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. (TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.) Stir in tomato and a pinch of chili to taste. Cook until slightly softened, 1 minute.
  • Add spaghetti, garlic herb butter, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (⅓ cup for 4 servings), and 2 tsp lemon juice (1 TBSP for 4). Toss until thoroughly combined. (TIP: If needed, add more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in sauce.) Stir in half the zucchini and season with plenty of salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta between bowls. Top with remaining zucchini and Parmesan. Garnish with a pinch of remaining chili if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
