Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound rigatoni
1 onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds Italian sausage
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Two 25-ounce jars marinara sauce
Two 8-ounce balls fresh mozzarella, cut into large cubes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions; drain and set aside to cool.
  • Saute the onions in the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Crumble in the sausage, add the crushed red pepper and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the marinara sauce, mix everything together and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • To assemble, add about 2 spoonfuls of the sauce--just enough to coat the bottom--to a baking dish. Then layer half of the cooled noodles, half of the mozzarella cubes and half of the remaining sauce. Repeat the process: layer the remaining noodles, mozzarella and sauce, then top with the Parmesan. Cover and put in the fridge or freezer until ready to cook.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the rigatoni until heated through and bubbling, 25 minutes straight from the fridge, or 2 hours straight from the freezer. Garnish with minced parsley before serving.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cheese and pasta were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I might use a different type of sausage.
