This dish is not just comfort food; it’s like a warm hug on a plate. Plus, it brings together the tastiest sausage and pasta in a way that will have you saying, “Why didn’t I make this sooner?” So, grab your apron, and let’s get cooking!

Ingredients

1 pound rigatoni pasta
1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your call!)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for future spice enthusiasts)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil, for garnish (because we’re fancy like that)
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (the more, the merrier!)

Instructions

First things first, boil some salted water in a big pot for the pasta. You want it rolling like your favorite movie action scene.
While the water is boiling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and sauté them until they’re golden and fragrant (about 5 minutes). Your kitchen will be smelling divine!
Next up, add in that delicious sausage. Break it apart as it cooks, letting it get all nice and brown. Trust us, this is where the magic begins.
Once the sausage is no longer pink, stir in the garlic and let it sizzle for about a minute. Warning: you might want to grab a spoon and taste. It’s okay, we won’t judge.
Now, add the crushed tomatoes and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if you’re feeling a little adventurous. Season with salt and pepper and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Perfect time for a dance break!
While the sauce is doing its thing, cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. Remember, nobody likes mushy pasta!
Once the pasta is done, drain it and toss it with the sauce. You’ll want every noodle coated in that savory goodness!
Serve it up hot, topped with fresh basil and grated Parmesan. Dinner is served! Get ready for compliments and maybe even seconds (you know you want it!).

And there you have it – an Easy Sausage Rigatoni recipe that’s perfect for a cozy night in, a dinner party, or just because you’re hungry and deserve a treat. Enjoy!
