ITALIAN SAUSAGE-STUFFED ZUCCHINI
I've always had to be creative when getting my family to eat vegetables, so I decided to make stuffed zucchini using the pizza flavors that everyone loves. It worked! We like to include sausage for a main dish but it could be a meatless side dish, too. -Donna Marie Ryan, Topsfield, Massachusetts

SAUSAGE STUFFED ZUCCHINI WITH PENNE PASTA
I developed this recipe this summer when the local produce man had orange and grapefruit sized round zucchini for sale. I've made it since, using regular zucchini. If you leave out the sausage it would be a good vegetarian dish. The leftover sauce is wonderful over pasta. Enjoy this with some good garlic bread and a salad! This can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, then popped in the oven when it's time for dinner. Recipe doubles easily.

Steps:
- Prepare zucchini by scooping out the insides, leaving a 1/4 inch shell.
- If using round zucchini, cut a thin slice off the bottom so they won't roll and cut off the top 1/3 of zucchini, removing the stem and saving the remaining top.
- If using regular zucchini, trim the stem end and bottom end and cut in half, then scoop out the center.
- Dice the inside of the zucchinis (and top part from round zucchini if using them).
- Saute' onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until wilted but not browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add both peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini insides (and top) and saute' for about 10 minutes more.
- Remove sausage from its casings and brown over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, breaking the sausage into small pieces while it cooks.
- When it is done, I like to drain it in a colander and run hot water over it to remove as much grease as possible.
- Add sausage to saute'd vegetable mixture along with 2 T of the basil.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Stuff zucchini with about half of the vegetable/sausage mixture and place in prepared pan.
- Add tomato sauce to remaining vegetable/sausage mixture, along with the oregano and remaining basil and simmer over medium to low heat for 30 minutes.
- Top each zucchini with about 1/2 C of the sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella.
- Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- Prepare pasta according to package directions and drain.
- When zucchini are done, top with an additional sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, arrange on a plate with a portion of pasta and sauce and serve with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a bowl, toss all the vegetables, except the tomatoes, with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast, until caramelized, about 30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through the cooking time. In a small bowl, add the tomatoes and the remaining olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add to the baking sheet, at the halfway point of cooking, to caramelize.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and saute until cooked through. Turn up the heat and deglaze with white wine. Once the vegetables are cooked, cool slightly, then coarsely chop. Add the vegetables and any pan juices to the sausage in the skillet. Toss in the cooked penne, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to moisten. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve in bowls topped with Parmesan.
PENNE AND SMOKED SAUSAGE
This pasta is a must-try smoked sausage recipe. It just tastes so good when it's hot and bubbly from the oven. The cheddar french-fried onions lend a cheesy, crunchy touch. -Margaret Wilson, Sun City, California

PENNE WITH ZUCCHINI AND SAUSAGE
I got the idea for this recipe from a can of S&W Ready-Cut Diced Tomatoes with Onion and Bell Pepper. The recipe calls for crumbled sausage but my husband and I like our sausage sliced over pasta. It also calls for the pasta to be cooked in the skillet but I cook mine separately and added it to the sauce just before serving. Turned out delicious
