Sausage and Summer Squash

This was another recipe that Jami had. It was quick, easy, and really good. Great summer recipe!

Ingredients

* 1/3 to 1/2 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 12 oz. cooked Polish sausage links, halved lengthwise, sliced diagonally
* 3 small yellow summer squash and/or zucchini, quartered lengthwise
* 4 wedges Italian flat bread, split
* 1/4 cup sliced green onions
* Fresh oregano leaves
* 1/4 cup coarsely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. In small bowl combine dressing and garlic. In extra-large skillet cook sausage and squash in 2 tablespoons of the dressing mixture for 8 to 10 minutes or until sausage is heated through and squash is almost tender, stirring occasionally.

2. Meanwhile, place bread on broiler pan; brush with 1 tablespoon of the dressing mixture. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly toasted.

3. Serve sausage and squash with toasted bread. Drizzle remaining dressing; sprinkle green onions and oregano. Pass Parmesan cheese. Serves 4.


Note: I didn't know what Italian Flat bread was. I used sourdough bread and it tasted great! I think any toast would do. Also, I didn't use fresh oregano leaves (I sprinkled a little of the ground cumin over it. I also used smoked Turkey sausage and it was delicious (a little healthier too).
