A bowl of pasta never fails to satisfy—it’s quick, carby, comforting, and our total weeknight go-to. When you add sweet Italian pork sausage, tender bites of zucchini, and Parmesan to the equation, you’ve reached another level of deliciousness entirely. Ready to enjoy bite after bite of twisty cavatappi pasta cloaked in this creamy, flavor-boosted Bolognese? We thought so.

Preparation
1
Prep

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.

2
Roast Zucchini

• Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the Italian Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 14-16 minutes. • Tent with foil to keep warm.

3
Cook Pasta

• Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 1 1⁄2 cups pasta cooking water (2 cups for 4 servings), then drain.

4
Cook Onion & Sausage

• While pasta cooks, remove sausage from casing if necessary; discard casing. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-4 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step).

5
Make Sauce

• Add tomato paste and remaining Italian Seasoning to pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in stock concentrate, 1 cup reserved pasta cooking water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce has slightly thickened and sausage is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium low.

6
Finish & Serve

• Stir drained cavatappi, roasted zucchini, sour cream, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) into pan until thoroughly combined. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. • Divide pasta between bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve. ***Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.***
