Instructions
Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes
For hot days! Also for grilling!
Add the canned tomatoes and their juice to a salad bowl. Season to taste with salt, freshly ground pepper, balsamic vinegar, a little Worcestershire sauce, a dash of Tabasco, and a generous pinch of sugar. Add the roughly chopped basil and parsley. Toss with olive oil, if desired. Cook the penne in plenty of salted water until al dente. While still warm, add it to the tomato sauce with 2-3 tablespoons of the pasta water and let it simmer. In the meantime, cut the zucchini, sausage, and cheese into approximately 1 cm pieces and mix them with the pasta. P.S.: If you’re only serving the pasta salad as a side dish for a barbecue, you can omit the sausage and just sprinkle a few roughly chopped olives on top. Don’t use fresh tomatoes, as the salad will taste bland.
