Ingredients
- 200 grams mezzi rigatoni or other dry pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 2 spicy Italian sausages removed from casings
- 1 garlic clove
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1.5 cups peeled plum tomatoes 1x 398 mL can
- grated parmigiano reggiano
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and drop the pasta in. Cook until it's before al dente (about 2-3 minutes before it's done cooking, remove it from the pot and place it into the sauce – it will finish cooking in the sauce)
- While the water is boiling/pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the whole garlic clove and sautee until fragrant.
- Add the sausage and break up with a wooden spoon/spatula until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine, and let it evaporate off, a few minutes.
- Add the tomatoes along with salt and pepper. Let the sauce cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the sauce along with grated parmesan cheese. Mix everything together for a few minutes until the sauce absorbs into the pasta.
- Plate, and top with more cheese. Enjoy!

Notes
- This recipe uses spicy Italian sausage, but if you're looking for less heat, you can use a mild sausage as well.
- This recipe removes the garlic cloves, as this is a common Italian cooking technique. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can mince up the garlic and add to pan when the sausage is almost cooked (before the wine).
- Finish the dish with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
