CHUCKMAN ORIGINAL RECIPE: PENNE RIGATE IN HOT SAUCE WITH SAUSAGE MEAT
Prepare some of my basic red sauce, but season it with a
fair bit of dried red pepper flakes. Careful, these can quickly create
something very hot. Let simmer.
Remove casings and break up some Italian sausages – either hot or sweet – and sauté.
You may sauté some chopped onion and sweet red pepper with the sausage if you like.
Place the meat – and vegetables, if you are using them – into the red sauce and simmer a short while.
Boil some Penne Rigate pasta to al dente and drain.
A plate consists of a serving of pasta smothered with the hot meat sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Great with some crusty bread and a salad.
