Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound rigatoni
½ pound Italian sausage, casings removed and broken into chunks
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup minced yellow onion
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup dry white wine
4 cups canned diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 13 minutes; drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot oil until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to sausage mixture; cook and stir until peppers are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir white wine into sausage mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Mix rigatoni, Romano cheese, and fresh basil into sausage mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until cheese melts and flavors blend, about 3 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with goat cheese.

The sauce was a bit too bland for me, so I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning.

I had some trouble finding sun-dried tomatoes, but I eventually found them at a specialty grocery store.

I substituted the goat cheese with feta, and it was still very good.

The flavors of the dish go really well together, and the goat cheese and spinach add a nice touch.

This dish is a definite winner! The goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes pair perfectly together, and the creamy sauce is to die for. My family loved it, and I will definitely be making it again.
