PASTA-SAUSAGE-VEGETABLE MEDLEY

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.
