Rigatoni Pasta Bake

"This a an easy and relatively quick recipe to make. My husband, who doesn't care for pasta or leftovers ate this 3 days in a row. I added crushed red pepper flakes to taste even though its not called for in the ingredients. I found it on About a Mom."

  1. I made this dish for a ladies' luncheon and they all loved it and wanted the recipe which I gladly wrote for them. I did not have italian sausage so I used 2 lbs. ground beef. I make my own sauce but used what the recipe called for and it was delicious.
