Rigatoni with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Zucchini

Made with Italian sausage, tomatoes, and fresh zucchini, this flavorful rigatoni pasta recipe is a crowd-pleaser! We love using rigatoni pasta because the tubular pasta catches the tomato sauce, onions, and garlic. But use another tubular shape – or pasta shape you want. This is the perfect pasta recipe when you’re craving healthy-ish comfort food but don’t want one of those heavy baked pasta dishes.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 lb rigatoni pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 2 small zucchini diced
