“Life is a combination of magic and pasta,” said legendary Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini. We couldn't agree more. Nothing up our sleeves here. Farfalle pasta gets tossed in a robust tomato sauce with pieces of fennel-flecked Italian sausage and fresh zucchini before it's topped with mozzarella cheese and baked to golden-brown perfection. The delicious, filling flavors are no illusion, but this meal will still disappear before your very eyes. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Garlic Oil

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/4" half-moons.

    Halve ciabatta, if necessary.

    Mince garlic.

    In a mixing bowl, combine half the garlic (reserve remaining for zucchini), 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and a pinch of Parmesan (reserve remaining for pasta). Set aside.

    On a separate cutting board, remove sausage from casing, if necessary.

  2. 2

    Cook the Farfalle

    Once water in medium pot is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 10-12 minutes.

    Reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander. Return to pot and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil. Set aside.

    While pasta cooks, start sauce.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage and Zucchini

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add 1/2 tsp. olive oil and Italian sausage to hot pan. Break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Transfer Italian sausage to a plate. Keep pan on burner and lower heat to medium.

    Add 1/2 tsp. olive oil, zucchini and remaining garlic to hot pan. Stir often until zucchini is lightly browned and begins to soften, 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Pasta Mixture

    Stir marinara sauce, reserved pasta cooking water, cooked pasta, cooked sausage, and remaining Parmesan into hot pan until completely combined.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Bake Casserole and Garlic Bread and Finish Dish

    Transfer pasta mixture to prepared casserole dish. Top with mozzarella and place on one half of prepared baking sheet.

    Place ciabatta halves, cut-side up, on empty half. Top evenly with garlic oil.

    Bake in hot oven until mozzarella is melted and bread is golden brown, 7-9 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Rest, 5 minutes.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, tearing garlic bread into halves, if desired. Bon appétit!
