This time of year I am inundated with zucchini!  So I am always trying to come up with different ways to serve zucchini, like this Zucchini Sausage Casserole.

My family and I are members of a CSA, so we get a big box of seasonal vegetable from a local farm every week.  I made this recipe by using a whole bunch of the vegetables we received, including zucchini, yellow summer squash, fennel, onions and green pepper.  I thought sausage would combine well with the flavors, and it certainly did!  I used hot Italian sausage because my family likes spicy foods, but sweet would work well too.

This casserole is very quick to make, and it was done in about 30 minutes, which makes it perfect for a busy night.  It was quite tasty, and the abundance of vegetables makes it a complete meal. The fennel was a little bit crunchy, which gave it texture. If you don’t have fennel I think celery would be a good substitute.

I used my Veggetti Spiral Vegetable slicer to make the yellow summer squash into noodle like spirals, which makes it cook quickly and look cool.  I would have done that with the zucchini too, but my zucchini was too large for the spiral slicer!

  1. This sounds great! I love the addition of the fennel on top of the Italian sausage. Thank you for bringing these to Snickerdoodle Sunday and I hope to see your latest ideas later today!

  2. Looks very, very good. Making me wanting to grab a fork and dig right in.

    Don’t have a vegetable spiral slicer but I have used a vegetable/potato peeler by slicing in nice long strips, stacking up the strips and then with sharp knife cut into long narrow strips like you would be making French Fries; hence, you now have long zucchini noodles.

    Have also used a box grater by using the larger openings/ holes; slicing into nice long strips.

    I don’t own one of these but a mandolin would also work well getting nice even sliced strips.
