Creating Creamy Sausage Rigatoni is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Rigatoni: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5. Season: Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well-integrated.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and let sit for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a bowl of Creamy Sausage Rigatoni that is sure to impress anyone at your dinner table.
