I really wanted some new and different things to do with smoked sausage and this fit the bill for us perfectly. I think it is best with fresh from the garden plump juicy tomatoes and I NEVER heat the tomatoes (personal preference), just plop them on top of the brown rice simmered w/a cube of chicken boullion and the sausage/zucchini mixture and if the tomatoes are juicy enough you will have some moisture. When tomatoes aren't in season, a can of tomatoes works but it really brings the rating down a notch, I think. It's a quick and easy weeknight meal with lots of good veggies. I suppose you could add all sorts of other yummy veggies, too. I seve with french bread on the side and cut watermelon for desert!

Very good. I used fresh onion and sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese on top. Next time I will use fresh garlic and/or double the spices for a bit more flavor. It's a bit tight to squeeze 4 servings out of this one, so definitely serve with rice. It made a nice lunch but probably wouldn't have been filling enough for my family if I had served it for dinner.

We made this tonight and I loved how simple it was. We actually served it over fried potatoes and thought it was WONDERFUL! We'll definately make it again!

After making several changes we really enjoyed this. I added some red pepper flakes to the sausage while it browned. Then I added a small chopped onion, in place of the dried minced onions and 1 clove of garlic with the zucchini. I also poured in a can of diced tomatoes with juice and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Due to my picky eaters I knew they wouldn't touch the zucchini if it were only sauteed - too crunchy for them.

This recipe was quick and simple! I added chicken breast, as others commented. It was out of this world. I will diffently make it again. I used sliced fresh onion instead of what the recipe called for.

I went by the recipe but did substitute fresh tomatoes for a can of rotel. I personally thought it was to spicy for my medium spice taste. Not sure if I would make this again. I don't know if it would have tasted any better with regular tomatoes.

Great! A nice and different way to cook smoked sausage. In addition to the zucchini, I also added some pea pods and diced carrots. I was also concerned about the salt content, so I didn't add anything but a bit of pepper and fresh garlic. I have served this with rice, potatoes and sometimes pasta. It's quick, filling and very tasty.

This was delicious! My husband made it and he made a few changes: he didn't use any butter, instead he used cooking spray; instead of the instant minced onion, he used 1/2 onion; instead of the garlic salt, he used 2 cloves of garlic; he also forgot to include the tomatoes but it was still delicious. We served it over brown rice. It was quick and easy.

If you have leftover smoked sausage and don't know what to do with it, as I did, or zucchini, I suppose this is not a real bad idea. There was nothing really wrong with it, but it wasn't that great either. Like so many recipes here, it needed a bit more flavor since the zucchini is naturally a bit bland. The smoked sausage flavor wasn't enough to overcome the mushiness of the zucchini. Maybe someone can come up with an improvement on this dish. I think it should have possibilities, I just can't think of any.

Very good! Even DH liked it, and he usually doesnt like vegies. I even snuck the tomatoes in, and they were fire roasted. Everyone said I should make it again sometime!

I'll give this 3 stars cause my husband loved it. It was not up my alley though and I could hardly eat it. I also love zucchini and sausage.. but I'm not a big fan of tomato type sauces. I used the rotel diced tomatoes with chilis and also added some fresh garlic. I used garlic powder and added some salt. I also served it with brown rice. Because of the rotel it was a bit too spicy for my kids and they ended up eating raviolis.. I ate a tad and my Dh about ate all of the rest of it and saved just enough for leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. He asked that I make it for him sometimes to take to work for lunch...

This is a tasty dish. I followed the recipe as is with a few substitutions. I sauteed the zucchini in olive oil instead of margardine. Instead of minced onion, I used 1/4 cup of chopped onion. And, I used one clove of minced garlic instead of the garlic salt. I served it over some brown rice. My family and I really enjoyed it.

We really loved the ease of this recipe, and the fact that it didn't require a ton of ingredients. For some reason, eventhough we followed the cooking instructions we ended up with the whole thing undercooked :-( We removed it from the plates,and nuked it to finish the cooking. The sausages were fabulous, but the rest of the meal was quite bland. We liked it anyway, and perhaps will try it again, but in our opinion it needs more flavor. Unfortunately we threw out the leftovers. I'd still recommend this recipe though. It's simple, fast, and it does taste quite "healthy". Thanks for sharing.

YUMMO! I didn't have an onion so I used onion powder instead. It was still very tasty, but with onion it would be even better. This is a very easy recipe. Thanks for sharing!

I changed this recipe slightly and my family loved it. My husband said the flavors were wonderful. I chopped the onion instead of mincing it, and I added a clove of garlic minced. I also used a salt free seasoning and some fresh basil.
