While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add kielbasa and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; saute until vegetables soften, 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 4

Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
