This recipe includes chorizo sausage for maximum flavour and texture; you could substitute any savoury sausage of your choosing instead. We add garlic and onion to add extra taste and heat; plus use canned tomatoes to create an intense, rich sauce. At the end, we add Parmesan for some added cheesiness but it’s entirely optional if dairy free meals are more important!
Rigatoni pasta is ideal for holding onto sauce and other ingredients, however other types may work just as well. If you prefer thicker sauce, consider replacing 1/3 of the water with milk or cream instead.
Add extra vegetables and boost its nutritive value with this dish by including some steamed or roasted broccoli florets when sauteing garlic and onion, frozen peas nearing completion, or even kale for extra added greens!
If you’re trying to reduce calories, try replacing Parmesan with lower-fat cheese like Pecorino Romano or Asiago; even adding some fresh basil adds flavor and an attractive pop of color! Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to taste; we suggest starting small and gradually increasing it as desired.
