Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 1 lb Italian sausage sweet or spicy
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
