Italian Stir Fry

Pin It I love making one dish meals. Stir fry is an obvious "go to" food and is a staple on our menu. This Italian Stir Fry dish is a nice break from tradition.

Time management:
Prep time: 15 minutes to chop all veggies
Cook time: aprox 20 minutes for stir fry

Ingredients:
1 lb Italian Sausage
2 cups penne pasta
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 "on the vine" tomatoes or equal volume of cherry tomatoes, seeded and chopped (or halved)
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup basil, chopped
2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
Cook pasta according to package and keep warm, set aside.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large pan over medium heat.
Crumble and cook sausage until done.
Add zucchini, garlic and onions and cook until veggies are tender, 5-7 minutes.
Add tomatoes, basil and parsley, and cook additional 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat, plate over pasta, and top with cheese.
