Italian Sausage and Chorizo Rigatoni

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

Italian sausage and chorizo rigatoni. It’s delicious, super easy to make and perfect on nights when you’re craving a comforting pasta. Smoky chorizo and spicy sausage cooked down in a rich tomato sauce, tossed with chunky rigatoni and plenty of parmesan. This hearty pasta comes together in 30 minutes and will definitely satisfy everyone at your table. Just add some crusty bread and a big side salad.

Pasta, sauce and sausages, what could be a better combination? This is a real crowd-pleaser. The sausages add great flavor to a simple sauce and will please every meat-eater at the dinner table. 

First we cook the chorizo, then add garlic and onion. It’s super important to add ingredients one at a time to release its flavor and work layer per layer. After this we add the Italian sausage and break it up a little. Then the spices and tomato paste goes in, next we pour in the broth and crushed tomatoes.

Then just simmer the sauce over low heat while you cook the rigatoni, and that’s pretty much all there is to it. Super simple but absolutely mouthwatering.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

RECIPE NOTES

  • if you want to serve more people, just double the ingredients
  • you can make it on the stove, in an Instant Pot or a slow cooker. Do what works for you best
  • of course, the longer the sauce simmers, the better the flavor, if you have the time make the sauce the night before, simmer for one hour, then chill overnight. The following day, place the sauce on the stove, simmer, cook the pasta and serve. Thin out with some pasta cooking water
  • add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or roasted peppers
  • use any pasta shape you have on hand
  • use soft spicy spanish chorizo instead of a hard and dry variety. Spicy Mexican chorizo will also work great
  • instead of spicy Italian sausage, use sweet Italian chicken sausage
