Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and sugar. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add rigatoni, and cook, stirring occasionally, 9 minutes. Drain in a colander, and rinse under cool water until cool. Set aside.
- In a medium nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to break up any large pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta with half of the mozzarella. Stir to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
- To assemble, spread 1 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add half of the rigatoni in an even layer. Spread with 1/2 cup sauce, ricotta mixture, sausage, and 1 cup more sauce. Top with remaining rigatoni, and 1 1/2 cups sauce. Any remaining sauce may be reheated and served on the side or reserved for another use. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top to cover. Place baking dish on a baking sheet, and transfer to oven. Bake until bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Bring 6 quarts salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; toss in the onion; cook/stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes.
- Crumble the sausage into the skillet and stir, breaking up the sausage into small pieces as you do, until the sausage is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir about half the mushrooms into the sausage mixture; add the remaining mushrooms as those in the pan wilt, making room for more.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- If the mushrooms give off liquid, allow time for the juices to boil off before the mushrooms start to brown.
- Pour the tomatoes into the skillet, stir in the peas, and bring to a boil.
- Decrease heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer; season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook a minute or two.
- Stir in the stock and bring to a boil; cook until the sauce is lightly reduced and is perking like a little volcano, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the cream and bring to a boil; spoon the ricotta into the sauce and stir gently to mix.
- If the skillet is large enough to hold the sauce and the pasta, fish the pasta out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet.
- If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the sauce.
- Bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, stirring gently to coat the pasta with the sauce.
- Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of grated cheese.
- Check the seasonings, adding salt and pepper if needed.
- Spoon the rigatoni into warm bowls and serve immediately, passing additional cheese separately if you like.
RIGATONI AL SEGRETO (RIGATONI WITH SECRET SAUCE)
This Rigatoni al Segreto recipe was the most closely guarded secret at Gino's, one of New York City's most famous Italian restaurants. When it closed, the recipe got out. But I think the amount of butter was way too low. So here's my version.
