Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
¼ cup diced onion
4 cups spaghetti sauce
2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon dried basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.
Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet until meat is no longer pink and onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
Combine spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sausage and onion mixture; stir until well combined. Add pasta and carefully mix until well incorporated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with remaining mozzarella, and bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pound rigatoni
1 onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds Italian sausage
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Two 25-ounce jars marinara sauce
Two 8-ounce balls fresh mozzarella, cut into large cubes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions; drain and set aside to cool.
Saute the onions in the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Crumble in the sausage, add the crushed red pepper and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the marinara sauce, mix everything together and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
To assemble, add about 2 spoonfuls of the sauce--just enough to coat the bottom--to a baking dish. Then layer half of the cooled noodles, half of the mozzarella cubes and half of the remaining sauce. Repeat the process: layer the remaining noodles, mozzarella and sauce, then top with the Parmesan. Cover and put in the fridge or freezer until ready to cook.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the rigatoni until heated through and bubbling, 25 minutes straight from the fridge, or 2 hours straight from the freezer. Garnish with minced parsley before serving.
