Rigatoni Hotdish

Last night I made an easy rigatoni hot dish - and it was so good, that I decided to share the recipe.

 

1/2 - 1 lb. Italian sausage (depending on how much meat you want in the hot dish)

1/2 box rigatoni noodles

1/2 green pepper, chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 jar Ragu Spaghetti Sauce (I used Chunky Ragu with tomato, garlic & onion)

2 cups shredded cheese - I used a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella

Cook rigatoni noodles according the the directions on the box. Meanwhile, brown Italian sausage, onions, green pepper and garlic. Add jar of spaghetti sauce and simmer until the noodles are done.

Rinse noodles and add to meat mixture.

Preheat oven to 350.
Lightly grease 9x13 pan.
Pour meat, noodles and sauce mixture into pan. Spread shredded cheese on top. Bake for 50 minutes or until cheese is lightly golden brown.
Enjoy!
