Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.

- Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.

- Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
