This is a simple weekday meal that my dad would make at least once a week. I loved it and make it for my family every couple of months to keep the tradition alive. It is really quick, basic, and has veggies my son will only eat in this way.
In large pasta pot, add salt to water and bring to boil. Add pasta and cook per directions for al dente.
Use pan from browning sausage and add olive oil. Heat to medium until olive oil begins to ripple, but not smoke, and scrape brown bits into olive oil for added flavor for 30 seconds.
Add onions, red bell pepper, zucchini and squash. Stir gently every 30 seconds until veggies begin to brown. Salt and pepper to taste.
Turn heat to low. Add mushrooms and garlic. Stir gently to mix ingredients for approx. 3 minutes. Do not let garlic burn.
After draining pasta (do NOT run under cold water), put back into pot on low heat.
Add browned sausage and sauce.
Stir occasionally and keep covered until veggies are completed.
Once veggies are cooked, add to pot, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan.
Combine ingredients gently by folding from the outside in.
Serve with mozzarella on top.
