Baked pasta with zucchini and sausage is one of my favorite pastas. I really enjoy preparing baked pasta, and the crust that forms on top is something irresistible. Baked pasta with zucchini and sausage is very simple to make; I chose penne, but you can use any type of pasta you prefer. Try it. Since everything is cooked in the oven, it just needs to stay there long enough to combine everything and form that famous crust.
