For the Sauce

2 Tablespoons butter
½ cup heavy cream
6 garlic cloves crushed
¾ cup grated parmesan
14 ounces crushed tomatoes about 1.5 cups
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

For the Broiled Zucchini and Sausage

3 medium zucchini
2 teaspoons olive oil
6 Italian sausages

Instructions

For the Sauce

Melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Whisk in the cream. Increase heat and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 5 minutes, whisking constantly, until reduced by about half.
Stir in the parmesan cheese until smooth. Add the tomatoes and basil and simmer for 5 minutes.
If desired, whisk in 1/4 cup of water to thin the sauce. Season to taste with salt and red pepper.

For the Zucchini and Sausage

Heat your broiler to high.
Cut each zucchini crosswise into 4 pieces. Cut eat of those pieces lengthwise into four wedges. Drizzle with oil.
Arrange the zucchini wedges and sausages on a baking sheet. Broil for 10 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through and the zucchini is lightly charred.
Slice the sausages into rounds. Stir the sausage and zucchini into the sauce.
