Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium 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 Italian sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Add 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 and cover the skillet.
Simmer for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
