To prepare, you will typically cook the rigatoni pasta according to package directions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, the pork sausage is usually browned in a skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. The creamy sauce is then often heated through, sometimes with added liquid like water or milk to achieve the desired consistency. Finally, the cooked pasta and browned sausage are combined with the sauce, ensuring everything is well coated and heated through before serving.
