Sausage and Summer Squash

I love squash and zucchini, and when it's in season cooking it with the sausage is a delicious way to prepare and enjoy these vegetables. Served with some lightly toasted italian bread, it makes a great meal.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄3-1⁄2 cup  bottled  Italian salad dressing
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 12  ounces  cooked Polish sausage, halved lengthwise, sliced diagonally
• 3  small  summer squash or 3  small zucchini, cut across into 3/4-inch pieces
• 4 -6  slices  Italian bread, lightly toasted
•  fresh oregano leaves
• 1⁄4 cup  coarsely shredded parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat broiler.
2. In a small bowl combine dressing and garlic.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Serve sausage and squash with the toasted bread. Drizzle with any remaining dressing; sprinkle with oregano; top with a little parmesan cheese, if desired.
