RIGATONI WITH SPICY SAUSAGE AND HERBS



Rigatoni With Spicy Sausage and Herbs image

This dish is one of my husband's favorites and mine as well when I'm not worrying about carbs! I can't remember where I got this one - I think off the back of a box some time ago, but I ended up slightly altering it to turn up the heat a bit. With the tabasco to taste, you can make it a little spicy or a lot! It also reheats well.
