Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
12 ounces rigatoni pasta
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Add the rigatoni pasta, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
