Add avocado oil and onion to pan2. Cook the onion until translucent and add the Italian sausage. Season however makes your heart happy3. Boil salted water for rigatoni- once boiled add rigatoni and cook al dente. You want it slightly firmer because it’ll cook in the meat sauce more.4. Once sausage is cooked add in garlic and tomato paste. Get the meat coated in the paste and then add in your grape tomatoes and broth. Cover and let simmer- your goal is to get the tomatoes covered in broth enough to burst them5. Chop your zucchini into quarters and add them to your meat sauce6. Once your tomatoes are soft/bursting you may need to help a few others and press in them with your cooking utensil. Add some more salt and pepper if you so desire7. I like to add about 1/3 cup of pasta water! Drain your pasta and then add it to the meat sauce. Stir a lot to incorporate everything!8. You can top this with any sort of cheese you like!Fruity pebble Rice Krispie treats:Here’s the issue… I eyeball just about everything but here are my tipsUSE SALTED BUTTER- roughly 2 TbsOG FRUITY PEBBLES ONLY CANNOT BE OFF BRANDMini mallows are easier to use than giant ones but get the big bag not the 10ozPut your mini mallows in a large microwave safe bowl with salted butter on top. Microwave in 30 sec intervals until boiling lava hot then eyeball your fruity pebbles.You do not want to add the suggested amount of cereal because they will not be ooey gooey they will turn out more dry. So maybe like a cup less. But add in desired cereal amount and stir. Then put em in a pan and push them down with parchment paper you’ve sprayed with oil. Do not press too hard because again… they’ll be hard!
