Ingredients
Pasta
- 12 oz rigatoni pasta
Sauce and Sausage
- 24 oz jarred marinara sauce
- 14 oz chicken sausage
- 5.2 oz Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
Instructions
- Cook Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken sausage pieces until they are fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Ensure the sausage is cooked evenly by turning occasionally.
- Melt Cheese: Lower the heat to medium-low and add the Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir continually until the cheese melts completely and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Combine Sauce: Pour the jarred marinara sauce into the skillet with the sausage and melted cheese. Stir to combine thoroughly, allowing the sauce to heat through for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
- Serve Pasta: Cook rigatoni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and serve it topped generously with the creamy Boursin and sausage marinara sauce.
Notes
- Use chicken sausage with your preferred seasoning for a customized flavor.
- To save time, cook the pasta while preparing the sauce to have everything ready simultaneously.
- Boursin cheese can be replaced with a similar creamy herbed cheese if unavailable.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner with only 4 main ingredients.
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes when browning the sausage.
