Number Of Ingredients 13

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup vodka (optional)
1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes with juice, lightly crushed with hands
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pound rigatoni
10 ounces baby spinach
12 ounces smoked chicken sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick
6 ounces Fontina cheese; 4 ounces cut into 1/2-inch cubes and 2 ounces coarsely grated
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic. Remove from heat; add vodka, if desired. Return to heat; cook until almost evaporated, 1 minute.
  • Stir in tomatoes and oregano; cook until tomatoes are falling apart, 10 to 15 minutes. Add cream; cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook pasta in the boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Add spinach, and cook just until wilted. Drain, and return contents to pot.
  • Add tomato sauce, sausage, and cubed Fontina to pot; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Divide evenly between two shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dishes.
  • Top with grated Fontina and Parmesan. Bake until browned and edges are crisp, 20 to 30 minutes.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or sausage. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I love that this dish can be made ahead of time. It's perfect for busy weeknights. I usually make it on Sunday and then reheat it during the week.

I'm not a big fan of chicken sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It turned out really well! The sauce was flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

This is my new favorite pasta dish! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand. Last time I added some chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

I made this dish for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! The only thing I changed was that I used penne pasta instead of spaghetti. It turned out great!
