Ingredients

  • • 8 ounces Rigatoni pasta
  • • 1 large leek coarsely sliced
  • • 8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms sliced
  • • 2 links mild Italian sausage about 8 ounces
  • • 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • • 1 15-ounce jar roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
  • • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • 1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, chop leek and mushrooms.
  • 2. Cook pasta according to the package instructions. In the meantime, remove sausage casing by cutting the links in half (butterfly); wash hands.
  • 3. In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage and brown 3-4 minutes, stirring to crumble the meat until no longer pink. Remove from pan and set aside. When the pasta is done, drain and set aside.
  • 4. In the same sauté pan, add the other tablespoon olive oil. Sauté leeks and mushrooms over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
  • 5. Stir in wine and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the wine is evaporated by about one-half.
  • 6. Stir in Alfredo sauce; bring to a simmer. Add cheese into the sauce; whisk until melted. Stir in the pasta and the sausage; cook and stir for about a minute.
  • 7. Dish, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
