Sure! Here’s a recipe for spicy sausage rigatoni:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound rigatoni pasta
- 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the rigatoni pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, cook the spicy Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked rigatoni pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
- Serve the spicy sausage rigatoni hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy your spicy sausage rigatoni!
