How to Make Pasta In Pink Sauce With Sausage Ragu
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of pasta (penne, rotini, or your favorite shape) and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or spicy), casings removed. Brown the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup tapenade.
- Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and 1/4 cup ricotta cheese.
- Stir constantly until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 (24 ounce) jar of Ragú® pasta sauce.
- Continue to stir until the sauce turns a beautiful pink hue and is well combined.
- Add the cooked sausage to the pink sauce and stir to combine.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sauce.
- Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
