Fresh Sausage Ragu

1-16 ounce box of Rigatoni pasta
1-pound of ground pork sausage (I used mild)
1 medium onion, diced
1-medium zucchini, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon of dried crushed red pepper flakes
1-6 ounce can of tomato paste
1-28 ounce can of diced tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

In a large pot over medium heat at the sausage and break it apart, then let that get brown for about 10 minutes.  Then add the onions and garlic and let that break down for another 10 minutes. Then add the carrots and zucchini and stir everything together for a couple of minutes and then add the crushed red pepper flakes, tomato paste and diced can tomatoes.  Let that all cook for about 20-25 minutes.

Then in a separate pot boil water to cook the pasta in.  Then cook for 8-10 minutes and drain.

To serve put a portion of pasta on a plate and then add some of the ragu on top and then sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Enjoy!!!!
