Rigatoni with Sausage and Tomato Cream Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb rigatoni pasta
- 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook 1 lb of rigatoni pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 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 an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil before serving. Enjoy!
