Cooking Steps
Heat broiler to high. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons.
Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the Italian Seasoning (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper.
Broil until browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Meanwhile, remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and remaining Italian Seasoning. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, stir crushed tomatoes, stock concentrate, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings) into pan with sausage. Season generously with salt (we used ½ tsp; ¾ tsp for 4) and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced, 5-7 minutes.
Stir sour cream and ½ TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings) into pan with sauce until melted and combined. Add zucchini and drained spaghetti; toss to coat. (TIP: If your pan isn’t large enough, carefully pour everything back into empty pasta pot.) If needed, stir in reserved pasta cooking water 1 TBSP at a time until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide pasta between bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The gluten-free pasta was a highlight for those who need it, and the zucchini fit naturally into the finished dish despite seeming unusual during prep.
- Ease of prep: One reviewer found this more involved than expected — removing sausage from casings and managing the gluten-free pasta added extra steps and time.
- Suggestions: Add onion to the sauce to deepen the flavor, as one reviewer found it made a noticeable difference. If the gluten-free pasta is too long, use scissors to cut it into shorter pieces before cooking.
