directions

  • Preheat broiler.
  • In a small bowl combine dressing and garlic.
  • In an extra-large skillet cook sausage and squash in 2 tablespoons of the dressing mixture for 8 to 10 minutes or until sausage is heated through and squash is almost tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, toast Italian bread lightly; or if you prefer, you can place the bread slices on a broiler pan, brush with 1 tablespoon of the dressing mixture, and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
  • Serve sausage and squash with the toasted bread. Drizzle with any remaining dressing; sprinkle with oregano; top with a little parmesan cheese, if desired.

  1. Who would think a recipe so simple and quick could be so tasty! I would never have thought of pairing smoked sausage with squash, but this was delicious. I didn't include the bread to reduce carbs, but still excellent with that modification
     
  2. This was really good, I love onions so I added a sliced onion. Also I deglazed the pan with a little chicken stock since it was sticking. Fabulous!!
     
  3. Both my husband and I really enjoyed this meal, it is so simple to make and the flavor is great. Never thought on sausage with summer squash but it is a great combo. Will definitely make again.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
