Pasta al Forno Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  • Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  • Add minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.

  • Add the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, and cook until browned. Drain off excess grease.

  • Stir in tomato puree, ¼ cup water, salt, pepper, and oregano. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

  • While the sauce simmers, boil rigatoni in generously salted water until almost al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain the rest.

  • Add cooked pasta to the sauce along with 1 ½ cups mozzarella and ½ cup pasta water. Stir to combine. Add more pasta water if mixture is too dry.

  • Transfer mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Top evenly with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and cheese turns golden.
