Pasta with salsiccia and zucchine

Remove the skin from the sausage, then cut into pieces. Clean 300g of zucchini and cut into 3cm thick slices. Cut each slice into 8 long, wedge-shaped pieces. Finely chop 1 onion. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and fry the onions until translucent. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Add the sausage pieces to the onion and fry, pressing down with a large-pronged fork until it forms meat-like crumbs. Once everything has taken on some color, deglaze with 100ml of white wine, season with salt and pepper, and simmer covered for a few minutes. Add the zucchini and simmer covered for about 10 minutes. If desired, add some of the cooking water from the pasta. Strain the pasta, mix it with the vegetables, and serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Variation: Add 1 small deseeded chili pepper along with the onion.
