Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
3/4 pound rigatoni
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 bell pepper (not green), cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 small yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
2 pounds cherry tomatoes, halved
Red-pepper flakes
Grated Pecorino Romano, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking apart with a slotted spoon, until cooked through, about 6 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a bowl.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil and bell pepper to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, 6 minutes. Add squash and half the tomatoes; cook 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup pasta water and cook until tomatoes soften, 4 minutes. Return sausage to pan and add remaining tomatoes. Season with red-pepper flakes. Cook until sausage is warmed through and juices thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. Toss with pasta; if necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta. Serve with Pecorino Romano.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some roasted peppers and squash in my fridge, and I decided to throw them into this recipe. It turned out great! The vegetables added a lot of flavor and texture to the dish.

I'm a big fan of one-pot meals, and this recipe fits the bill perfectly. I was able to cook the pasta, vegetables, and sauce all in one pot, which saved me a lot of time and cleanup. The dish was also very flavorful and satisfying.

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own variations. I added some chopped zucchini and mushrooms to the roasted vegetables, and I used a white wine sauce instead of a tomato sauce. It turned out beautifully, and my family loved it.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The roasted vegetables were tasty, but the sauce lacked flavor. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to spice it up, and it was much better. Overall, it's a good recipe, but it needs a little tweaking.
