Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Two 28-ounce cans plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
4 large fresh basil sprigs
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound rigatoni
1/2 cup diced ham
1/4 cup chopped pepperoni
1/4 cup chopped crisp cooked bacon
3 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil sprigs and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the basil and season with salt and pepper.
  • While the sauce simmers, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Cook the rigatoni in the boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl.
  • Add the tomato sauce, ham, pepperoni, bacon, half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. Fresh, meaty mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or portobello mushrooms will give your sauce the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the mushrooms, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. A good quality olive oil will add a delicious flavor to your sauce. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of cooking oil, such as canola oil or vegetable oil.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Once the sauce is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. This sauce is perfect for serving over any type of pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, or macaroni.
