Ingredients
- 250 g rigatoni pasta

Instructions
- Cook the pasta as per your package instructions and set aside.
- In a sauté pan add the sausage meat (making sure to remove the casing, you could leave it on but it is more difficult to break it up in the case). Cook on medium heat with a little olive oil, we want to brown the meat, should take 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan add the olive oil, onion, salt and cook on low to medium heat until brown and soft. Around 5-6 minutes. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano and cook again for a minute.
- Add the browned meat back into the pan and stir together. Add the tinned tomatoes, water, parsley and stir together. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the cream, simmer for a minute and take off the heat.
- Add the cooked pasta, parmesan cheese, crushed black pepper and stir together. Serve it hot.
Notes
- I like tossing the pasta in the sauce and serving it but you could serve the sauce on top of the pasta as well.
- Measure the parmesan with your heart please.
