Pasta alla Norcina (Creamy Pasta With Sausage) (Dinner)

With zucchini

I think this was a hit last time, but not so much this time. I liked it though! Notes: use a big pan, everything took about twice as long as noted.

I added onions with the zucchini (at the same time), and cooked it on high heat for a while, then reduced to medium high. Turned out well.

Pasta alla Norcina (Creamy Pasta With Sausage) (Dinner)

With roasted cauliflower

The reviews: I didn't think this was going to be good, but it's great! Not sure why the initial hate, but I'll take the second. Nice and easy too. I skipped a bunch of steps in the sausage (including resting it, I only had 20 minutes for it to be in the fridge), and used chicken stock instead of white wine.

The cauliflower also turned out well. My usual today at 400°, but it was a small head so there was more space to roast. I only turned it twice so they were nice and crispy.
