Tomato, chilli, basil and crumbled sausage make a mouth-watering combination in this spicy sausage rigatoni. Punchy flavours that all work together SO WELL. Using sausages instead of minced pork or beef in this meal adds extra flavour – due to the seasoning in the sausages. You can also change up the recipe when you want a change by using different flavour sausages.
