Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Step 2
Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Step 3
Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Step 4
Add the rigatoni, diced tomatoes (do not drain), marinara sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cover with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce has reduced and thickened.
- Step 5
When the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Step 6
Garnish with fresh basil, optional. Serve warm.
