Instructions
Cook pasta in a pot following box instructions until desired
tenderness. We used Barilla Mezzi Rigatoni. Save a couple Tbs of
the pasta water.
Begin
with the sausage. In a pan add a little oil and brown on medium
heat, turning as necessary to keep from burning. When the interior
temperature reaches 150F remove from pan. Cut to bite size.
Add minced garlic to pan with a little more oil if too dry. Cook
briefly to soften and add Italian seasoning after a minute or two.
2 tsp each of garlic powder and roasted garlic powder could be
used instead of the garlic.
Add tomato paste, Robusto dressing, Parmesan, and pepper flakes.
Also add 2 Tbs of the cooking water from the pasta and stir until
mixed well. Cook for a couple minutes then add pasta and sausages
and mix thoroughly to coat everything.
Shave some of the extra sharp Provolone to top.
Notes - Serves 4. This simple dish lends itself well to
additional ingredients like peppers, onions, pepperoni, mushrooms,
olives, and more.
