Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 lb ground spicy italian sausage
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, thinly sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 lb sliced mushrooms
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 1 15oz can fire roasted tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 sprig sage
  • 2 balls burrata cheese

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, around 5-7 minutes. Place a paper towel on a plate. Remove the sausage from the pan and place on the paper towel to cool. Set aside.
  • Return the pan to the stove and add the onion and carrots. Cook over medium heat until the carrots soften, around 10-15 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt. Add the mushrooms and cook an additional 10-15 minutes until the mushrooms have softened. Add the garlic and continue cooking an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the beef stock, tomatoes, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for one hour.
  • 20 minutes before the sauce is done, start boiling water in a large pot for the rigatoni. Boil the rigatoni until al dente and drain. Set aside.
  • When the sauce is done remove the rosemary and sage sprigs. Pour the sauce over the rigatoni to combine. In a casserole dish add the rigatoni. Place the burrata cheese on top of the rigatoni. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve hot and enjoy!
