Notes
- Follow these tips for the best sausage and zucchini one-pot pasta dinner!
- Storing and Reheating Leftovers
- To store any leftovers, keep this pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, you can either microwave the pasta in 30-second increments until heated through or reheat it on the stovetop over low-medium heat until warmed through. If the pasta seems a little dry, just add a splash of chicken broth, and be sure to top with more freshly grated parmesan before enjoying your leftovers!
- When browning your sausage, crumble it as it cooks with a wooden spoon. We recommend leaving the crumbles a little larger (like in the pictures) to make it easier to get on the fork while eating.

- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese. Pre-shredded parmesan can sometimes have anti-caking agents on it that prevent the cheese from melting into the smooth creamy sauce we're after with this recipe.

- If you're substituting the bucatini with another type of pasta (might we recommend another long noodle like fettuccine or spaghetti), be sure to follow the directions on the box for how long to boil the particular noodles you're using to prevent over-cooking them.
