4 servings
- 1 lb rigatoni
- 1 lb sweet or hot italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ cup dry white wine

- ½ cup reserved pasta water

Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. Before draining, scoop out at least 1/2 cup of pasta water and set it aside, then drain the pasta in a colander.

While the pasta water heats, warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into rough crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 7–8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
