Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage removed from casing
- 2 whole cloves garlic gently crushed with the side of a knife
- 1 ½ cups canned crushed tomatoes
- salt and pepper to taste plus plenty of salt for the pasta water
- ½ lb Rigatoni or any other short shaped pasta * see note
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup walnuts finely chopped
Notes
- *This recipe works very well with chick pea and lentil pasta for a healthier, gluten free version. If using, be sure to rinse the pasta under warm water after draining and before adding to the sauce and use plain tap water in place of pasta water to add in.
