Rigatoni Rustici

We had this dish at Macaroni Grill a few years back and I think this comes pretty close.


Ingredients

32 oz can Hunt's Tomato Sauce
Olive Oil
Salt
1/2 C Crumbled Feta Cheese
14 Fresh Basil, chiffonad-ed!
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1 small white onion, cut into small strips
2 Italian Sausage Links

Put 1 T olive oil in a sauce pan. Heat through and add tomatoes and salt to taste. Check sauce for acidity, adding sugar if necessary. Add feta and basil.

Stir fry bell pepper and onion in a separate pan until al dente.

Cook sausage (with casing) in a sauce pan with a few inches of water until the water boils off and the sausage is browned.

Slice sausage into bites. Add sausage and vegetables to sauce. Serve over al dente Rigatoni.
