Country Rigatoni Recipe

Cook the Rigatoni

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Sausage and Chicken

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the Italian sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Add the diced chicken and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage and chicken. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Then, add the halved grape tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Prepare the Tomato Garlic Cream Sauce

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, dried oregano, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine Pasta with Sauce

Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Stir in the chopped basil and parsley.

Serve

Serve the Country Rigatoni hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
