2 tsp garlic, minced

¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# Instructions:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken sausages and diced onion, cooking until sausages are nicely browned and onion is tender.
02 -
Season with salt, red pepper flakes and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.

Bring mixture to a boil then add the uncooked pasta. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes, until pasta is mostly tender, then add the chopped zucchini.

Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes until zucchini is tender and most of the chicken broth is absorbed into the pasta. Stir in the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese and the grape tomatoes.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese before serving.
