Pasta with Italian sausage

First, cook the penne according to the package instructions. Reserve some of the pasta water. Remove the sausage from the skin and tear it into small pieces. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Wash and dice the zucchini and tomatoes. Sauté the onion and garlic in oil with the sage leaves. Then add the zucchini and sausage. Deglaze with white wine, adding a little more pasta water if necessary, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes (cherry tomatoes and canned tomatoes) and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked penne. Serve with arugula and Parmesan cheese. Tips: Feel free to vary the ingredients. Less penne, more vegetables. Chickpea pasta is a good alternative to wheat pasta. I would also experiment with a little spiciness. I got this recipe idea from my friend Suna.
