1 T. butter (optional)
2 T. chopped garlic
2 T. minced red onions

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the pasta according to package instruction. 2. Saute garlic, onions, chopped tomatoes and red bell pepper in oil. Add a dash of sugar, salt and spice (finely ground black pepper)I usually do this to let the flavor out from the garlic, to caramelized the minced onions and make the tomatoes pasty. Add the dried basil leaves then the ground chicken breast. I usually buy the breast part and have it de-boned then ground but you can also use chicken sliced in small cubes.Saute until golden brown. 4. Pour table wine and the spaghetti sauce then sprinkle with the three-cheese or you can use the available and ready three-cheese pasta sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes. 5. Toss in cooked pasta and sprinkle with your choice of cheese. serves 6 to 8

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Two 28-ounce cans plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 cup chopped fresh basil, plus 4 large fresh basil sprigs
1 pound dried rigatoni
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 1/2 cups shredded provolone
1 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of the tomatoes and 1 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil sprigs and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard basil and stir in the chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the sauce simmers, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Cook the rigatoni in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions instruct. Drain the pasta and add it to the large bowl.
  • Add the tomato sauce and half each of the mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan cheeses to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta-sausage mixture to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan cheeses. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes.
