Ingredients:









     1.5 lbs Venison Sausage - cut into 1 in. pieces


 :           Note: Any sausage could be used here.


     1.0 lbs Zucchini - (about 2 or 3) cubed


     1/2 lbs Yellow Summer Squash (1 - firm and not seedy)


     2.0 cns Tomatoes (14 to 16 oz cans) diced


       1    ea. Tomato Paste (small can)


       2 ea. Garlic cloves, large, minced


       2 cup Mushrooms - sliced, or 3 cups of stems and caps


       1 ea. Onion (large) coarsely chopped


       1    tsp Basil - dried


       1    tsp Oregano - dried


       1    ea. Bouillon cube (beef)


      16 oz. Pasta twirls, trios, or similar


       1    tsp Chili Powder (optional)


       1 tsp Louisiana Hot Sauce (optional)


 :           Parley to garnish


 


  In a large skillet over medium to high heat cook and stir sausage and


 garlic for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remember that the


 venison sausage has very little if any fat and it will burn if you are not


 particularly observant.  Now add the mushrooms and the onion. Cook for 3 to


       4    more minutes.


 


  Add the zucchini, summer  squash, tomatoes, basil, oregano and the


 bouillon cube.  Add the chili powder and the hot sauce. Bring to a boil,


 stirring all ingredients together.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 15


 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender but yet crisp.  Be sure to stir


 occasionally so things don't burn on the bottom of the pot.


 


  When finished toss with pasta and then sprinkle on liberal amounts of


 parsley.


 


  Total preparation time should be less than 30 minutes.
