A box of pasta combined with a few ingredients is an affordable way to feed a family. I happen to be a pasta lover and it appears that my 2 year old is as well. So, pasta dishes are on the menu in my home every month.
About a year or two ago I discovered this pasta sauce at Target. Giada De Laurentiis {from Food Network} has a line of products at Target, and the above sauce is one of my favorites. Mascarpone and Romano cheeses give it a creamy texture. If you can find it, I recommend using it for this dish. If not, your favorite jar of spaghetti/pasta sauce will work as well.
This rigatoni dish comes together in no time. Put it in the oven to bake and…
pair it with a salad and some fresh bread to create a balanced, delicious meal.
ENJOY!
