Enjoy delicious savory smoked sausage with tender crisp zucchini over garlic parmesan noodles for an easy family dinner idea.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 12 ounce smoked sausage sliced and quartered
- 3 medium zucchini sliced and quartered
- 1 medium yellow squash sliced and quartered
- salt and pepper to taste
Butter Garlic Noodles
- 16 ounce egg noodles wide
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 clove (small) garlic minced
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese shredded (plus more to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
- Heat butter (or olive oil) in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add your zucchini and yellow squash that has been sliced and quartered.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cook until crisp and tender.
- While the zucchini and squash are cooking, boil your egg noodles according to directions on the package.
- Add the sliced and quartered smoked sausage to the skillet with the zucchini and cook for 4-5 minutes or until warmed through.
- When egg noodles are done, drain and add them back to the pot.
- Melt your butter over medium heat, then add your minced garlic, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Once the butter garlic sauce is done, combine with the egg noodles, sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese, then stir to combine the flavors.
- Serve your smoked sausage and zucchini skillet over your butter parmesan noodles. Sprinkle with a little more parmesan and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use olive oil in place of the butter when frying the zucchini, although we prefer the flavor of the butter; it's good both ways.
- Garlic powder and grated parmesan cheese can be substituted for the minced garlic and shredded parmesan.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic if you would like. As a reminder, one clove of garlic equals about 1 teaspoon of pre-minced garlic.
- If you prefer your kielbasa to be more charred, you can add it before the zucchini gets tender so it has more time to cook in the skillet.
- Also, this recipe is for pre-cooked smoked sausage (kielbasa). If you decide to use Italian sausage or any other type of uncooked sausage, it should be cooked first.
- It will keep in the fridge for 3 days in an airtight container.
