Creamy Rigatoni with Sausage and Sweet Peas

Creamy Rigatoni with Sausage and Sweet Peas

Posted by liz joy on

Okay, this creamy rigatoni with sausage and sweet peas was a total HIT with the family, so I wanted to share another easy to make recipe! This one is an absolute lifesaver on busy weeknights—it’s ready in just 15 minutes and the entire family will enjoy it!!

Ingredients:
1 box of rigatoni
1 jar of Rao’s marinara sauce
1 pack of cream cheese (you’ll use 3 ounces of it)
1lb ground sweet Italian sausage
1 bag of frozen sweet peas
parmesan cheese
fresh chopped basil

Instructions:
Start boiling a pot of lightly salted water (I use about a tablespoon) for your pasta. You’ll use the entire box of pasta.

Cook ground sweet Italian sausage on medium heat in a dutch oven until it’s brown and crumbly.

Combine full jar of Rao’s sauce with the cooked sausage and add 3 oz of cream cheese and stir to make your cream sauce.

Add your frozen sweet peas and stir until evenly distributed.  You can add as much or as little as you want here.

Once your pasta is cooked to al dente (follow box instructions for timing), drain from the water and put it all in your pot with the sauce.

Let it all simmer together for about 2 minutes.

Top with parmesan cheese and some fresh chopped basil and enjoy! 

xx,Liz
