Ingredients:
- 2 - sweet Italian chicken sausage in pork casing
- 6 ounces - penne pasta
- 4 ounces - fresh mozzarella
- 1 - zucchini
- 2 cups - arugula
- 4 - grape tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons - red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoons - garlic powder
- 1 tablespoons - chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 1/2 cans - corn
- - dried basil
- 7 teaspoons - olive oil
- - salt and pepper
Directions:
Wash and dry all produce. Preheat broiler or grill to medium-high. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Slice zucchini on a diagonal into long, ½-inch-thick slices. Halve tomatoes. Cut mozzarella into ½-inch cubes. Drain half the corn from can (use the rest as you like). Pick oregano leaves from stems, then finely chop until you have 1 tablespoon.
Make Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, red wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil until lightly charred, about 12 minutes, flipping zucchini over about halfway through. Transfer to bowl with penne.
TIP: If grilling, placed oiled and seasoned zucchini slices directly onto grates and grill until tender, 5-6 minutes per side.
Prick 2 sausage links all over with a fork. Place on same baking sheet and broil until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes per side. (TIP: If grilling, place sausages directly onto grates and grill until cooked through, 5-6 minutes per side.) Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, slice diagonally into ½-inch thick slices.
Add tomatoes, mozzarella, corn, arugula, sausage, and vinaigrette to a large bowl with penne and zucchini. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
