How to Make Italian Sausage Rigatoni Bake
Start by cooking your rigatoni noodles according to package directions al dente.
Slice your Italian Sausage into 1-inch pieces and fry until cooked through.
Add your onions and peppers when almost done cooking. Cook until cooked through.
When your noodles are done cooking, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Place back into pot. (I use my Ninja Foodi for the cooking of the noodles and putting together my Rigatoni bake.)
Add your Italian Sausage, onions, and peppers.
Add your Italian seasoning.
Dump in your jar of pasta sauce.
Add in your bag of shredded mozzarella cheese and a 3/4 bag of Parmesan. Save the remainder for the top of the finished pasta.
Finally, mix together until blended well while heating on low.
Cover the pot and let sit for about 10-15 minutes in order for the cheese to melt.
Serve in individual bowls topped with Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Serve with a side of garlic bread and enjoy!
