This pasta bake keeps cleanup to a minimum thanks to our oven-ready tray. Fresh rigatoni cooks up perfectly tender in the oven along with our flavorful Italian pork sausage, peas, and a rich tomato-pepper sauce (aka romesco!)—with no prep required. Finish it with a sprinkle of nutty Parmesan for a convenient, delicious meal in a flash!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Assemble Bake
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. • Remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing. Break up sausage into bite-size pieces in oven-ready tray (for 4 servings, evenly divide sausage between two trays). • Add rigatoni, peas, romesco sauce, stock concentrates, and 1 1⁄4 cups hot water. (For 4, divide ingredients between two trays, using 1 1⁄4 cups hot water for each tray.) Stir to combine.

Bake
2

• Cover oven-ready tray tightly with aluminum foil and bake on top rack for 20 minutes (for 4 servings, bake two trays side by side on top rack). • Carefully remove foil from tray (watch out for steam!). Gently stir pasta bake. • Return pasta bake to top rack and bake, uncovered, until pasta is al dente and sausage is cooked through, 12-15 minutes more. Taste and season with pepper if desired.

Serve
3

• Divide pasta bake between shallow bowls. Top with Parmesan and serve.

Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

I feel like this recipe needs re-thinking. There is no way that fresh pasta can be "al dente" after this much baking, and in fact it is so mushy that it's unpleasant. I even cut back the amount of oven time (still making sure it reaches a safe temperature), but it was still mushy. The flavor was pretty good, but the sausage had a lot of little hard bits and even a piece of bone in it.

The flavors were all good, but it was too greasy for me. If there was a way to drain the grease it would have been more appetizing. The fresh sausage was delicious!

The bake came out more watery than the picture, also very greasy from the sausage. Good flavors though

The pasta was very fresh and the sausage was flavorful. The sauce was watery.

We did not include the peas which we felt would have taken away from the dish. Some steamed broccoli would have been a much better complement.
