Chef Chuck's Pasta with Sausage and Zucchini

Pasta con Salsiccia e Zucchine 

This pasta recipe was made with Cencioni pasta, hot spicy Italian sausage, zucchini and cherry tomatoes.  I made parmigiano cheese frico to give this dish a bit of a crunch. 
The flavors combined together were delicious.
