Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inchthick half-moons. Dice tomato; toss in a small bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Quarter lemon. Thinly slice half the chili (if you like spicy food, slice the whole thing). Remove sausage from casings; discard casings.

  3. 3

    Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Drain any excess fat from pan. Stir in tomato and a pinch of chili. Cook until slightly softened, about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Add spaghetti, garlic herb butter, ¼ cup pasta cooking water (⅓ cup for 4 servings), half the Parmesan, and 2 tsp lemon juice (1 TBSP for 4 servings) to pan. Toss until thoroughly combined. (TIP: If needed, add remaining cooking water, a splash at a time, until pasta is coated in sauce.) Stir in half the zucchini and season with plenty of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Divide pasta between bowls. Top with remaining zucchini and Parmesan. Garnish with a pinch of remaining chili, if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
