Ingredients

• 400 grams Rigatoni pasta
• 300 grams Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
• 150 grams Fresh peas (or frozen, thawed)
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 400 ml Tomato passata
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 to taste Salt
• 1 to taste Black pepper
• 5 pieces Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato passata and bring it to a simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing until the sauce is fully combined and creamy.

Step 7

Add the peas to the sauce and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing them to heat through.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Step 10

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and allow it to melt into the sauce, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 11

Serve the Rigatoni Alla Buttera hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and additional grated Parmesan if desired.
