That all changed once the lockdown began. Having to limit the amount of times to go grocery shopping proved to be difficult. This meant I needed to plan what ingredients I could use to make multiple recipes throughout the week so that I wouldn’t need to visit the grocery store as often. Something I had not thought about in awhile. I went from not wanting to cook that often, to having to cook multiple times a day, every day! The planning part didn’t always work out the way I thought it would, so I would end up with an excess of vegetables that unfortunately, don’t last as long as pasta and rice. This meant I had to get creative. This allowed me to start experimenting and come up with different recipe ideas. This sausage and zucchini rigatoni recipe is one of them!
Right before the lockdown started, I had really been enjoying zucchini in more of my dishes. So now zucchini are a must at every grocery trip I make. One week, I had some sausage and zucchini that I needed to use up so I thought I’d throw them together with some rigatoni and my favorite spices and hope for the best! It worked! Some of the ingredients I threw in I had never used in this type of dish before, but I feel like it combined with the other flavors so well, making this sausage and zucchini rigatoni dish so delicious. I thought it was good enough to share and make a print recipe for you to try at home. This recipe called for Rigatoni pasta, but feel free to use whatever pasta you would prefer. Spaghetti or even Linguine could also work with this recipe. As for the sausage, sweet, mild or hot can be used, depends on how you like it!
