Rigatoni

1 pkg rigatoni noodles
1 can italian stewed tomatoes
1 lb ground sausage
1 can tomato sauce (optional)

Cook noodles as instructed (usually about 14 minutes). Brown sausage, add tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes. (I usually use a hand blender to puree the stewed tomatoes first). Put cooked noodles on a platter and top with sauce.

This is one of the easiest recipes and it is both of my kids' favorites.

Easy Manicotti

1 pkg manicotti noodles cooked as instructed on pkg
1 lb ground sausage cooked and drained
1 cup grated cheese
1 can italian stewed tomatoes (we use a hand blender to mush ours)
16 oz cottage cheese

Mix sausage, cheese, tomatoes and cottage cheese. Fill each manicotti noodle with mixture and place in baking dish. Warm in microwave for 7 minutes or cook at 350 for 25-30 minutes. I try to do it in the oven, I think it is a little better, but if I am in a hurry microwave works too.

You can use the same recipe for lasagna, just use lasagna noodles instead of manicotti and layer it with the sauce in a baking dish and top with cheese.
