How to Make Italian Sausage Zucchini Stew

1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
2. Add 2 stalks celery, finely chopped, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
3. Stir in 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes; 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1/2 teaspoon dried basil; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional); and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. Add 3 medium zucchini, diced; and 1 cup vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until zucchini is tender.
5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot over pasta of your choice, topped with grated Parmesan cheese or alongside cheese-stuffed tortellini.
