Bring water and half the salt to a boil in a large pot. While waiting for the boil, heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Done when browned on both sides, 165°F.
Add zucchini to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of the pasta water. Done when al dente.
Lower the skillet heat to medium. Stir in the marinara sauce, the cooked pasta, and the remaining salt. Add the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce as needed. Toss until everything is well coated and hot.
