Rigatoni With Sausage Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Rigatoni

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

   Prepare the Sausage

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spicy Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

   Make the Sauce

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Stir in the chopped basil and cooked rigatoni into the sauce. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
