How to Make Summer Squash And Sausage Pasta Dish

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  3. Add onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced squash, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the squash is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
  7. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
