Rosy Rigatoni with Sausage
IMG_4981

It was my daughters third Birthday this week, and she got to request whatever dinner she wanted. I was totally shocked when she asked for pink noodles! This was my version of pink noodles- a creamy rosy rigatoni with mild sausage. I used a batch of the tomato sauce that I always keep stock piled in the freezer, (heirloom tomato sauce 7/2007) but you could totally use a jar of good quality tomato sauce.

This is a very fast weeknight dinner, and incredibly delicious! HUGE hit with my kids and husband alike!

1lb of dried rigatoni

2 tsp olive oil
.75 lbs mild sausage
3 cups tomato sauce
½ cup heavy cream
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Bring salted water to a rolling boil. Cook rigatoni according to package directions.

In a saucepan add the oil and sausage and cook over medium heat.
