Pasta for me - Meat for them

This week another family 'hit' was made... with dinner that is....

I made a new recipe called - Italian Sausage Rigatoni. There are quite a few great things to love about this recipe. 

Here are just a few:

- It is very versatile. You can adjust one or more ingredients and have a completely different meal.
- The meat is chunky enough where a non-meat lover as myself doesn't have to eat it - but there is enough pasta, sauce and vegetables that I can still enjoy it!
- A budget friendly dinner
- Last but not least - It is easy and a great one dish dinner.


This recipe will definitely be made again!
