Whew. I am having a crazy busy month, so unfortunately my cooking is suffering. I can never have too many weeknight meal options (ie. meals that can be on the table in 30 minutes or less) at my disposal, so here’s another quick and easy dinner that comes together quickly- Smoked Sausage with Rigatoni! I tend to usually make chicken or seafood recipes, so I am finally doing a quick beef recipe!
This recipe for Smoked Sausage with Rigatoni uses Hillshire Farm’s Beef Smoked Sausage to add some yummy flavor to a quick fire roasted chunky tomato sauce. It’s a great alternative to chicken to snazz up a midweek meal.
The beef sausage cooks up in no time. Using the same pan to cook the sausage and to make the sauce gives the sauce a subtle smoky flavor that’s so tasty!
Ingredients:
- 1 (16 oz) box rigatoni, cooked according to package directions
- 1 package Hillshire Farms Beef Smoked Sausage, cut into slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped (~1 cup)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2 (14.5 oz) cans Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
- salt and pepper, to taste
- grated Parmesan cheese, optional
