Pink Pasta

Credit for the Recipe goes to my friend Jeff Poole. He served a mission in Italy and he said that this was one of the most popular recipes among the missionaries.

This recipe is delicious and very easy to make. It's what won over my wife, this is what I made for her on our first date.

Ingredients:
1lb italian sausage
1 medium size white onion
4 cloves of garlic (minced) 
1 can of 29 oz tomato puree 
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 bag of Mozzarella cheese

1 bag of rigatoni noodles
Salt/Pepper/Oregano (to taste)
Olive oil



To make the sauce you cut up the onion into cubes. In a large medium hot pan (lightly coated with olive oil) add onions and garlic. Cook until they start to get a little transparent. Then add pieces of the Italian sausage. Cook all together until the sausage is cooked all the way through. Add tomato puree and whipping cream with the other ingredients in the pan (I put onion, garlic and sausage mix into a crock pot on low then added the whipping cream and tomato puree. It all just depends on how much time you have. In my case I wanted the sauce to simmer for a few hours). Add salt, pepper and oregano to taste. While the sauce is cooking boil the rigatoni noodles until they are al dente.  Drain the noodles then place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the cheese on top of the noodles in the bowl then add the sauce. Mix all together and enjoy!!
