3
Add sausage* to pan; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.Season with salt and pepper. If you like things spicy, stir in a pinch of chili flakes and cook until fragrant, 15 seconds. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.

(For 4, use ⅓ cup reserved pasta cooking water and 2 TBSP butter.)Season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest to taste. Add drained rigatoni and toss to coat. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
