Creamy Sausage Rigatoni is the perfect dinner for your family. On the table in about 20 minutes and so creamy and delicious made with Philadelphia Cream Cheese! One you will want to keep on your dinner rotation.
If you are looking for an easy, delicious dish for dinner that will make your family full and happy. You need not look any further. This creamy sausage rigatoni is so hearty and delicious. Serve it with some garlic bread and a side salad and you have yourself a winning meal.
It takes about 20-minutes before it is ready to eat. That is my kind of dinner on busy weekday! My girls even ask for this for lunch sometimes and I don’t mind one bit because it really is that simple.
First you will cook your rigatoni pasta according to package directions. Be sure to omit the salt though so when we add in our sauce it isn’t too salty. Next you will crumble some Italian sausage and cook until browned. Add in some chopped garlic and pour in a jar of your favorite marinara pasta sauce. Heat through and then add in the magic, a block of Philadelphia Cream cheese mix until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy. Add in your drained pasta and top with torn basil, parmesan cheese and cherry tomatoes.
It’s one dish your family will ask for over and over again.
