Ingredients
 
 

  • 12.5 ounces rigatoni
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 7 ounces spicy smoky spanish chorizo finely chopped, no casings
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 12.5 ounces spicy Italian sausage no casings
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • cup chicken broth
  • 2 ½ cups crushed tomatoes
  • 1 ounce grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • crushed red pepper flakes for serving (optional)

Spices

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika

Instructions
 

  • Get all the prep done before you start cooking: finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
    Remove the casings from the sausages. Chop the chorizo into cubes.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium. Add chorizo and cook until it just starts to become crispy, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and onion, cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add Italian sausage, break it up with a wooden spoon or a fork. Cook about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste and spices, cook for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and cook rigatoni until al dente. Drain.
  • When the sauce is ready, turn off the heat, stir in chopped parsley and grated Parmesan. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your own liking. Toss with rigatoni.
  • Serve with some extra red pepper flakes and lots of grated Parmesan. Enjoy!
