Fast-and-Fresh Sausage Ragu

My go to ragu recipe. The whole family loves all the flavor that the sage sausage gives this pasta sauce...and lots of goodness in it too. Real simple to make for a weekday dinner

This was good, but not great. The sauce has high visual appeal with the many vegetables.

Made this in February as soon as I got the magazine and planning to make again this week. I added some extra crushed red pepper because I prefer a spicier sauce, and I cooked it the day before serving so the flavors had time to meld. I too appreciated the 'hidden' vegetables, and when I served it to my friend he had no idea it had zucchini in it. I think the sauce might work well in a lasagna too.

This was a great dish, and already a family favorite! It was so flavorful, and easy to make. I loved that it "hides" so many fresh vegetables for the kiddos. Thanks SL! Also, this definitely yields a lot. For a family of 4, I think half the recipe would be more than enough.
