This dish capitalizes on the flavors of the cherry tomatoes and sausage for a hearty dinner.  Prep time:   30 min.  Total time: 45 min. 4 servings Ingredients: Coarse salt

• 3/4 pound rigatoni

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

     1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed

• 1  bell pepper (not green), cut into 1/4-inch strips

1 small yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch rounds

• 2 pounds cherry tomatoes, halved

• Red-pepper flakes

• Grated Pecorino Romano, for serving

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, coo pasta according to package instructions.  Reserve 1/2 c . pasta water, then drain.

1. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking apart with a slotted spoon, until cooked through, about 6 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a bowl.

2. Add 1 tablespoon oil and bell pepper to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, 6 minutes. Add squash and half the tomatoes; cook 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup pasta water and cook until tomatoes soften, 4 minutes. Return sausage to pan and add remaining tomatoes. Season with red-pepper flakes. Cook until sausage is warmed through and juices thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. Toss with pasta; if necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta. Serve with Pecorino Romano.
