Brown and break up Italian sausage in a big pan over medium heat.

While that's cooking, start boiling a pot of salted water.

Once Italian sausage is cooked, remove from pan and set aside.

Add chopped zucchini to that same pan (you might need to add more olive oil depending on how much oil is left over from the sausage).

Once sizzling, season with salt and pepper and cook for about 4 minutes (doesn't take long).

Once zucchini is done cooking, set aside and turn off heat.

When the salted water is boiling, add pasta.

Drain pasta and set aside.

In the same large pan you used for the sausage and zucchini add a good amount of olive oil over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Add sage leaves and cook for about 2 minutes.

Turn the heat to low and add pasta, mix, then add the cooked sausage & zucchini, salt & pepper, and fresh parm (you might need to add more olive oil).

Plate and top with more pepper, olive oil & parm.
