- 1 Tsp Crushed red pepper (optional)
- 2 Tbsp Garlic, minced

- Bring a large pot of water to boil, salt well.
- Heat a saute pan and add 1 Tbsp of the olive oil. Remove the sausage from the casings and chop into smaller pieces. Brown and stir for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining olive oil and the onions to the pan. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until just under done. Reserve 1 cup pasta water.
- Add the garlic, zucchini and squash to the pan. Salt & pepper to taste. Add the italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the wine and reduce for 2 minutes.
