Garlic sage butter pasta with sausage

A dreamy pasta deserves a dreamy song. This pasta is garlicky, buttery, and spicy with a hint of sage.

Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    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).
