Provided by highcotton

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
1 (8 ounce) package fresh button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 small zucchini, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (1 lb) package smoked sausage (I use Bryan's Smoky Hollow)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can pasta-style chunky tomatoes or 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 (5 ounce) package medium egg noodles

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add mushrooms and zucchini; sprinkle with oregano, stirring to blend.
  • Saute 3 to 5 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender (my family prefers softer veggies, so I cook 8-10 minutes).
  • While vegetables cook, cut sausages crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • When vegetables are as tender as you like, remove to a bowl and add sausage to skillet; cook until browned, stirring occasionally.
  • (Note: Since they're fully-cooked, you can heat the sausages as little as 5 minutes if you're in a hurry. We like the flavor when they're really well-browned, so I often have to add a little more butter to prevent sticking.).
  • Return vegetables to skillet with sausage; stir in tomatoes, including juice, and let mixture simmer gently while pasta cooks.
  • Prepare noodles according to package directions; drain well.
  • Top noodles with sausage-vegetable mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
