Rigatoni with Roasted Spicy Sausage, Spinach and Red Peppers
This recipe is from my Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine combined with ideas from my sister Shel. (Does this mean Shel can sue me now? She won't get much).
3 links hot Italian sausage, sliced lengthwise
couple generous handfuls fresh spinach
2 jarred roasted red peppers, drained and sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1-2 fresh tomatoes, diced
pinch each: dried basil and oregano, rubbed
hot cooked rigatoni
1/4 cup hot chicken broth
freshly grated Parmesan blend cheese for serving
Preheat oven to 400°.
Layer sausage on a large baking pan and cook til browned and just crispy. Remove sausage from pan and set aside. Drain off excess grease from pan. Slice sausage into 1" pieces. Return to pan. Layer spinach atop sausage.
Layer red pepper.
Sprinkle with garlic and salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Return to oven and bake til mixture is sizzling.
Remove from oven and carefully pour mixture into a large bowl. Stir in tomato and herbs. Taste and adjust as desired. Toss mixture with hot pasta and broth in pasta cooking pot.
I served the pasta topped with cheese alongside a thick slice of buttered bread.
