Our family has been cooking this rigatoni for 40 years. It is a great change from the Friday night pizza, as it contains all of your favorite pizza toppings. This is a heavy recipe. A simple salad is all you need to make a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
- 2 pounds Italian sausage
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
- 3 ½ ounces sliced pepperoni sausage
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- ½ pound diced pepperoni
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Cook rigatoni pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, fry sausage until cooked through but not brown. Add chopped onions and minced garlic. Stir and cook until soft. Add sliced mushrooms and cook about 5 minutes. Add chopped green pepper and cook slowly until soft. Drain off any excess fat.
Step 3
Stir in tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, fresh basil and pepperoni. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add cooked rigatoni noodles. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
