In Step 4, use the following heat guide to determine what spice level you prefer: add 1/8 tsp for warm, 1/4 tsp for hot and 1/2 tsp for spicy!
Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same amount for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then sausage. Cook, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 5-6 min.**
While sausage cooks, add linguine to the pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 9-11 min. Drain and return to the same pot, off heat.
When sausage is done, transfer to a plate and set aside. Add another 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan, then zucchini and peppers. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are softened, 4-5 min. Add the Italian Seasoning and 1/8 tsp chili flakes. (NOTE: Reference Heat Guide.) Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
Add cooked sausage and crushed tomatoes to the pan with the veggies and stir to combine. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 5-6 min.
Add sauce to the pot with linguine, then season with salt and pepper. Toss together. Divide sausage linguine between bowls and sprinkle Parmesan over top.
