Total time

30 Min

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb sausage of choice (spicy lamb is suggested)
• 1 lb Rigatoni
• 1/2 onion, chopped medium
• 1 Serrano pepper, chopped small
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup vegetable broth
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup pasta water
• 1 oz Parmesan cheese
• cilantro or parsley to garnish

Instructions

Directions:

1. Cook rigatoni pasta for one minute less than al dente according to package instructions. Drain when cooked and reserve pasta water.
2. In a large pan over medium heat cook sausage for 13 to 15 minutes. No need to oil the pan, the fat from the sausage will start to come out as it cooks and coats the pan. Continue to break up and crumble meat as it cooks. When done, remove from heat and set aside.
3. In the same pan (without cleaning or wiping down), add onion, serrano pepper, garlic, butter, and deglaze the pan with vegetable broth. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the bottom of the pan to use all the flavor.
4. Next pour in heavy cream, parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, and the cooked sausage. Stir to combine. Add cooked pasta and stir until it’s fully coated in the sauce. Garnish each serving with cilantro or parsley, more parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy!
