Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, chopped
2 (14 ounce) cans tomato sauce
⅔ cup chunky salsa
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup heavy cream
⅓ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil; stir in the rigatoni and cook at a boil uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, cook the ground beef, garlic, onion, and bell pepper in a large pot over medium-high heat until the ground beef has browned and the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Pour in the tomato sauce and salsa; season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the Cheddar cheese and cream; cook and stir 3 minutes, then stir in the sour cream until evenly blended. Add the drained pasta and stir until heated through.
