ZUCCHINI AND SAUSAGE MILANO

Steps:

• Fry the sausages in a large skillet until lightly browned. Remove the sausages and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the grease in the pan.
• Meanwhile, boil the pasta; drain; set aside.
• Fry the zucchini and onion in the pan grease until slightly tender. Add remaining ingredients, except the cheese. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, covered, stirring a bit.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and vegetables and blend.
• Place the mixture in a large baking dish and put in the sausages; or divide the mixture into 2 baking dishes for 2 separate dinners with half the amount of sausages in each.
• If you want to freeze for future use, do so now; add the cheese when you reheat.
• If making to eat now, add the cheese to the top and bake in 350 degree F. oven until cheese melts.

ZUCCHINI SOTTOLIO

Steps:

• Place the sliced zucchini in a colander over a bowl and toss well with the salt. Allow the zucchini to sit for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the 1 1/2 cups of vinegar and the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the salted zucchini to the pot and return the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a simmer and cook until the zucchini is cooked through but still has a little texture, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain the zucchini and place in a large bowl. Add the basil, mint, sliced chili, garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Toss well. Add enough olive oil to cover the zucchini and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Pack the zucchini in jars or a storage container with a tight fitting lid making sure the zucchini remains covered with the oil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Serve at room temperature sprinkled with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
