Bring the water and half the salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook for 9 to 11 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta water heats, warm half the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and the centers are opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil, zucchini, and bell pepper. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Return the sausage and cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to heat through.
