Sausage Spaghetti

This is dinner tonight--a super fast, delicious, cheap meal, especially good in the winter (we're supposed to get the county's first freeze of the season tonight!). I predict the DDH will like it, though he's in class right now and hasn't eaten it yet. He likes a good tomato-and-meat pasta sauce, though, and this is delicious!

I defrosted a big kielbasa in the microwave, sliced it up, and browned it to bring out the flavor:

In retrospect, doing this with garlic would probably be even better.

Boiled up some pasta water and cooked the pasta until al dente:

Dumped a can of diced tomatoes (in retrospect should have drained this first), a can of tomato sauce, the three or four remaining little fresh tomatoes from the garden (chopped), one of the last little jalepenos (chopped), some frozen shredded zucchini (don't tell the DDH), basil, oregano, and a bit of salt into a sauce pan and heated it all up:

Mixed it all together, and ta-da! dinner in less than 30 minutes, including defrosting the sausage:

I think I'm going to go get seconds now. ^_^
