Need a pasta recipe? than this might just be the one. Try our Creamy Rigatoni Pasta it's incredibly delicious.
I love anything pasta. Pasta is one of those dishes I can eat everyday and never get tired of. One main reason why I love it so much is because it can be so quick and easy to make and their are so many different ways to make it. You can use so many different types of sauces, and add ins. In this specific pasta dish, I used a Rigatoni Pasta and added sauteed onions, mushroom and zucchini in a creamy tomato sauce. It's so creamy and delicious and guess what? It is actually very simple to make. I know it may sound like their are so many steps, but trust me once you try this recipe you won't regret it.
Here are a few tips you need to know:
Tip 1: There is nothing wrong with using store bought Marinara or spaghetti sauces. Some of them are really good and it's always nice to have short cuts. The number one key is to find the right brand you like.
Tip 2 : Use a combination of cheeses, they add tons of flavor to your sauce. For this dish, I used a blend of Asiago and Parmesan cheese. One of my other favorite combination to use is the Italian Blend Cheese in my pasta.
