Can’t find rigatoni pasta? While any pasta shape will suffice, short-cut pasta like penne, rotini, elbows, bow ties, shells, and ziti pairs wonderfully.
If you avoid pork, consider using chicken or turkey sausage, ensuring it’s Italian and/or spicy for optimal results.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pasta and ensure your sausages are also gluten-free.
If you want to go vegetarian, though you won’t replicate the same depth of flavor, you can use tofu sausage or ground tofu. Be sure to add extra olive oil, herbs, and spices to compensate for the missing fat and flavor from pork sausage.
Storage and Reheating
To Store: Let the pasta cool completely and then place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
