Aukauka Place Pasta

It's a NEW favorite, so much a favorite, my husband named it after our new home!

INGREDIENTS:
8 oz uncooked penne rigate pasta
6 oz hot turkey Italian sausage, casings removed
12 oz zucchini, quartered
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
3 garlic cloves
Dash of sugar
2 TBL red wine vinegar
1 28 oz. whole tomatoes
2 TBL heavy whipping cream
Cooking Spray
3 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 oz. Parm-Reggiano cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting fat and salt. Drain; set aside. Heat a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Add sausage to pan, and saute for 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage from pan. Wipe drippings from pan with a paper towel. Add zucchini to pan; saute 3 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Add oregano and next 4 ingredients (through sugar); saute 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add vinegar; cook 30 seconds or until the liquid evaporates. Drain tomatoes in a sieve over a bowl, reserving 1 cup tomato liquid. Crush tomatoes with hands, and add to zucchini mixture. Add reserved 1 cup tomato liquid; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat; stir in cream. Add pasta and sausage to tomato mixture; stir to combine. Spoon half of pasta mixture into an 11 x 7 inch glass baking dish and sprinkle 1oz mozzarella and 2 TBL parm-reg cheese over pasta. Top with remaining pasta and remaining cheese. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
