Rigatoni With Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions image

I know it's difficult to think of making your own pasta sauce when you can get one easily out of a can - but believe me - this is worth it! It's not even difficult, and so impressive, fun, colorful and filling. You can even prepare the sauce in advance and rewarm it when you're ready to cook the pasta.

Meh. I found this dish to be bland and uninspiring. The sausage was dry, and the peppers and onions were mushy. I won't be making this again.

Solid 4 stars. I thought the flavors were great, but I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker. I also added some mushrooms and zucchini to the dish, which turned out really well.

This was a fantastic dish! I had never cooked rigatoni before, but it was surprisingly easy. I used mild Italian sausage, and it was the perfect amount of spice. The peppers and onions added a delicious sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be maki
