Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp salt, then cook the rigatoni according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. Before draining, scoop out at least 1/2 cup of pasta water and set it aside. Drain the pasta in a colander.

While the pasta water heats, warm 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the vegan sausage in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes, then stir and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes more, until browned on most sides. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
