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.
