Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb Italian sausage removed from casing, sweet
  • 2 garlic gently crushed with the side of a knife, whole cloves
  • 1 ½ cups crushed tomatoes canned
  • salt plus plenty of salt for the pasta water, to taste
  • black pepper plus plenty of salt for the pasta water, to taste
  • ½ lb rigatoni see note, or any other short shaped pasta
  • 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.
