In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Cook onion, garlic, and chopped zucchini flesh 5 minutes, until softened. Add sausage and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high 8 to 10 minutes, until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and stir in pesto.
