It was love at first sight. The fact that the fancy words “rigatoni” and “kale” appear in this recipe didn’t trick me into thinking that it isn’t glorified macaroni and cheese. It has everything that the most delicious macaroni and cheeses have: a velvet cheddar-and-goat cheese cream sauce that begins as a roux, fat, tube-shaped pasta cooked to perfection and even a green vegetable for guilt appeasement. I healthy-fied this one a little bit, substituting whole wheat pasta for white, punching up the amount of kale by a cup or two and using reduced-fat cheeses and 2% milk for the sauce. Definitely a winner for a casual dinner party or one of those “cook on Sunday eat for three days” meals.

When I found this recipe on for Baked Penne with Spinach & Sausage, I immediately knew that it would be right up my alley. A little bit of store-bought pesto goes a long way towards adding unique flavor to the tomato sauce and when baked with fresh, hand-grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese, you’ll forget that you’ve ever ordered pasta from a restaurant and probably never will again. It’s super easy to serve with a big fresh salad and will pair with just about any bottle of red, especially a California blend. The best part? It’s truly easy. A lot of Italian cooking involves chopping, slicing, dicing and stirring but with this dish, all you need to do is chop the onion, garlic and sausage, combine the sauce, throw it all together and pop it in the oven. You could even make this on the weekend, freeze it and pull it out […]
