I am always ready for a delicious bowl of pasta, especially when it's ladled with a tantalizing sauce. But a full-flavored bowl doesn't s always require a lot of time. Rigatoni with Sausage Ragu comes together quickly thanks to a short-cut and can rival any long-time simmered sauce. I use Italian Hot Sausage for a little kick, though it's less spicy sibling will do for great flavor. Each bite of the chewy pasta and savory sauce, with meaty bits, is just about as good as it gets for me.
