Wash and dry all produce. Bring a #large pot{} of lightly salted water to a boil. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then cut into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and finely dice the red onion. Mince or grate the garlic. Cut half the lemon into wedges. Remove the sausage from its casing.

In a #medium bowl{}, combine the vinegar, half the shallot, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 cup water until the sugar and salt have mostly dissolved. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.

Cook the linguine: Add the @linguine{} to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about ~{9-10 minutes}.

Brown the sausage: Heat @olive oil{1%tablespoon} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add the @sweet italian sausage{} and season lightly with @salt{} and pepper. Break up the pieces, and cook until browned, about ~{6%minutes}. Set aside.

Add the @red onion{} and the @zucchini{} to the same pan and season with @salt{}, pepper, and as many @chili flakes{} as you dare (we used 1/4 teaspoon). Cook over medium heat, until the onions have softened and the zucchini has browned, about ~{5%minutes}. Add the @garlic{} and @dried thyme{}. Cook until fragrant, about ~{1%minute}.

Add the sausage and @diced tomatoes{}, and season with pepper. Increase the heat to bring the sauce to a boil; once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until the linguine is ready.

Once cooked, drain and add the @linguine{} to the pan with the sauce. Toss to combine, then finish with a squeeze of @lemon{}.

To serve: Plate the pasta and serve topped with @parmesan{}. Serve with lemon wedges on the side!
