Rigatoni With Red Sauce

INGREDIENTS:

1 box of Rigatoni Noodles

1 onion, chopped

1-2 tsp garlic, minced

1 TBL olive oil

1 lb hamburger or italian sausage

2-3 cans of Italian Style Diced Tomatoes

1 tsp Thyme

1-2 cups of Parmesan Cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Heat olive oil in a sauce pan and add onion and garlic until fragrant. Add in meat and cook until done- seasoning with thyme, salt and pepper. You can add in other italian seasonings if you wish- I added extra garlic salt and parsley. Stir in the cans of tomatoes and let simmer for 30-45 minutes. In the last 10-12 minutes, cook the noodles and stir in 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese. When ready to serve, make individual portions of noodles and top with the meat sauce. If you want your red sauce to be more saucy, you can substitute one can of the tomatoes for a small can of marina or spaghetti sauce.
