Preparing Chicken Sausages with Zucchini, Tomatoes, and Pasta is simple and can be completed in just a few easy steps:
1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the Sausages: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken sausages and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and slice into rounds.
