In the pot used for the pasta heat 1 tbsp of the oil on high heat and add the tomato, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes

Not fan of washing dishes, so why not re-use the same pot if I don’t need a second, checkers is for the coffee table and not the kitchen anyway. In less than 20 minutes you can have this flavor packed dish on the table. Whats even better, is that the carrots are added to soften a bit before the pasta what boils ( Italians, you can stop raising your eyebrows I understand this is unorthodox) before the zucchini and pasta get added. The zucchini is going to cook down quickly which is exactly what you want. As the pasta and vegetables get returned to the pot with the diced Roma tomato, the zucchini will magically break down and create a creamy sauce that aggressively holds onto every ridge of the rigatoni for the perfect bite.
