Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • 4 cups spaghetti sauce
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.
  • Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet until meat is no longer pink and onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Combine spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sausage and onion mixture; stir until well combined. Add pasta and carefully mix until well incorporated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with remaining mozzarella, and bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
