Preparation
1
COOK RIGATONI

Before starting, preheat broiler to high and wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt in a large pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add rigatoni to boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 9-10 min. When rigatoni is done, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and set aside.

2
PREP

While rigatoni cooks, cut zucchini into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop parsley. Peel, halve, then cut the onion into 1/4-inch pieces.

3
COOK VEGGIES

Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then zucchini, half the onion and half the Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat then transfer veggies to a plate.

4
MAKE TOMATO SAUCE

Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then sausage. Cook, breaking up the sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.\*\* Add remaining Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add crushed tomatoes and 1 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl). Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 5-7 min.

5
MAKE CREAM SAUCE

While tomato sauce cooks, heat the same pot (from step 1) over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then remaining onions. Cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 2-3 min. Sprinkle over flour. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1 min. Add 1/2 cup milk (dbl for 4 ppl) and cook, stirring often, until thickened, 1 min. Remove pot from heat, then stir in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

6
FINISH and SERVE

Add rigatoni, reserved pasta water, veggies and half the parsley to pan with tomato sauce. Toss to combine. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, transfer mixture to a lightly-oiled 9x13-inch baking dish. If you don't have an oven-proof pan for 2 ppl, transfer to an 8x8-inch baking dish.) Spread cream sauce on top of pasta, then sprinkle over Parmesan. Broil in the middle of the oven, until golden brown, 3-4 min. Divide Pastitsio between plates. Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
