Three Cheese Baked Rigatoni with Sausage

Three Cheese Baked Rigatoni with Sausage

Baked pasta with pockets of melted cheese inside with an easy-to-make sausage meat sauce (no chopping!). This hearty baked rigatoni is easy to prep, can be made ahead, and is a cozy and comforting dinner.

This baked rigatoni is what I like to call a “variation on a theme.” In this case, the theme is pasta baked in a dish with sauce and pockets of melty cheese baked inside.

It’s a twist on my favorite baked ziti recipe, but with rigatoni and an easy homemade sausage meat sauce that requires – are you ready? – no chopping. That’s right, no dicing onions and no mincing garlic for the sauce. So, let’s take a prep break and lean heavily on our pantry for this baked pasta.

I also love that you can assemble this dish a day ahead, store it in the refrigerator, and bake it later. And the leftovers keep well in the fridge for a few days, too. So much to love!

Ingredients:
Pasta and Sauce
  • 8 ounces rigatoni
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage, mild or spicy
