  • To make the best Johnsonville Italian Sausage Rigatoni, be sure to brown the sausage over medium heat until it's cooked through, and crisp. This will give the dish a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage. If you do, the sausage will steam instead of brown, and it won't be as flavorful.
  • Use a large pot to cook the pasta. This will prevent the pasta from sticking together, and it will also make it easier to stir.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook it according to the package directions. Be sure to stir the pasta occasionally so that it doesn't stick together.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pot with the sausage. Stir to combine.
  • Add the sauce to the pot with the sausage and pasta. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.
