Creole Sausage Pasta

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 50 min. YIELD: 8 servings.
My husband and I created a delicious okra creole recipe years ago. We use a lot of different kinds of meat and one day decided to try it out with Italian sausage. It was a huge hit! I make a batch on Sunday and we enjoy the leftovers during the week!—Lisa Nelson, Bluffton, South Carolina

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 packages (17.63 ounces each ) Italian sausage links, casings removed
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 8 green onions, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 cans (28 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1 pound uncooked rigatoni
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage, onions, green onions, pepper and garlic; cook 12-15 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into large crumbles. Drain.
