Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 medium sweet yellow pepper, diced
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 3/4 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks

Method

  • In a large skillet, saute onion and peppers in oil for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add zucchini; saute 4-6 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, sausage, tomato paste, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until heated through.
  • Spoon half of the sausage mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; top with remaining sausage mixture. Separate breadsticks; arrange in a lattice pattern over the top. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
