Ingredients

12 ounces uncooked rigatoni or large tube pasta
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1-1/2 cups frozen peas
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup crumbled goat or feta cheese
Thinly sliced fresh basil, optional

Directions

Cook rigatoni according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook sausage over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add tomato paste; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until meat is coated. Stir in tomatoes, dried basil and pepper flakes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Drain rigatoni; stir into sausage mixture. Add peas and cream; heat through. Top with cheese and, if desired, fresh basil.
