This was delicious! I'm not a fan of squash, and had avoided zucchini for many years, but found it to be quite pleasant tasting served this way. I added some fennel seeds to complement the Italian sausage. Next time I'll try it served over cheese tortellini. Thanks for the great recipe.

Made this recipe for company and everyone really enjoyed it....and finished it up! Alas, no leftovers. Followed the recipe exactly and served it over whole wheat fettuccini. Would only add crushed black pepper to taste the next time. I will definitely make this again and again.
