Baked rigatoni is simple and easy. Boil rigatoni noodles until al dente. (They will cook more in the oven) Stir in 1 small container of ricotta cheese, 1 large jar of sauce, and 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese. You can also add some cooked hamburger meat or some cooked Italian sausage, either crumbled or sliced. Stir all together. Put in a greased casserole dish and top with mozzarella cheese. It's kind of like a lazy lasagna. You can also omit the ricotta and just make it a baked rigatoni dish.

Sorry have to do this. Safeway noodles. 99 cents. Cook 8 to 10 minutes. Pour can of sauce over the top. :)

roast pumpkin, cooked proscuito, sage, %26amp; cooked Pine Nuts.. creamy textured pasta.
Cooked and drained pasta, throw in chopped tomatoes, chopped spring onions, chopped cucumber, cheese chopped into cubes, cooked smoked bacon (chopped!),slightly cooked chopped mushrooms and enough mayo to make it slighty gooey, it is my fave pasta dish and goes down really well with anyone!
