CHEESY BAKED PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND RICOTTA
Like a cross between baked ziti and sausage lasagna, this mozzarella-topped pasta is rich with ricotta and crushed tomatoes - and cooks entirely in one pan, including the pasta. The Italian sausage adds meaty depth to the sauce, but vegetarians can leave it out or use their favorite plant-based sausage instead.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Crumble sausage into skillet, using a spoon to break it into small pieces. Cook until starting to brown, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes (if using), and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in whole tomatoes and their juice, using a spoon to break them up. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Stir in pasta and 1 cup water and return to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat, pluck out the bay leaves, and fold in about a third of the mozzarella.
- Top pasta with remaining mozzarella and dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle with Parmesan, then transfer to oven. Bake until pasta is tender when poked with a fork, and cheese is bubbly and lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. (If you'd like a more deeply browned topping, run the pan under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes.) Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with basil, plenty of black pepper, and more red-pepper flakes, if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Generously butter a 9x12-inch casserole pan and coat with half the bread crumbs.
- Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with the salt.
- Cover with a plate (press down on the zucchini), weighted down with a heavy object.
- The salt will draw the liquid from the zucchini; the plate will help squeeze it out.
- Allow the zucchini to sit for about 20 minutes.
- Place the onion, celery, carrot and pancetta or bacon in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture is chopped into tiny pieces.
- In a large, deep sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the vegetable-pancetta mixture and the garlic.
- Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the sausage, stirring to break it up further and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through.
- Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce and broth.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- You should have a thin rather than thick pasta sauce; you want it liquid, as the mixture will eventually bake.
- Set the sauce aside, and cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions.
- Do not overcook; the pasta should hold its shape.
- While the pasta is cooking, rinse the zucchini.
- Wrap in a clean, dry kitchen towel and squeeze out all the moisture.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil.
- Add the zucchini, and over high heat, brown on all sides for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cook in two batches, adding more oil if necessary, if the zucchini pieces are too many for one pan.
- They should be softened but not mushy.
- Remove and set aside.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
- Remove 1 cup of the pasta sauce from its pan and warm the remainder.
- Add the pasta and reserved pasta water to the sauce in the pan and toss well.
- Add the zucchini and mozzarella and stir well.
- Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared casserole pan.
- Pour the reserved sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs and the Romano.
- Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil, and bake in the center of the oven for about 10 minutes, until warmed through.
- Remove the foil, check that the mozzarella is melted and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to crisp the top before serving.
