Three Cheese Sausage Rigatoni Bake

Kicked up with some great hot Italian sausage from your local market,

or homemade if you are feeling bold, and that pasta and cheese combo becomes an indulgent dish that I can not resist.

Ingredients

- Whole wheat rigatoni - Italian hot sausage - Onion - Garlic - Ricotta cheese - Basil - Salt and pepper - Mozzarella - Marinara sauce - Parmesan

INSTRUCTIONS

Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water to just al dente per instructions on box.

Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the hot sausage, onion, and garlic until the meat is well browned.

Take time to break the sausage into small chunks as the meat browns. Drain off excess fat.

Mix the ricotta with the salt, pepper, and basil.

Mix the sausage, mozzarella and marinara sauce in the pasta pot.
