1
Brown up a pound of Italian sausage in a pan.
2
Drain off any grease from the meat, or don't, it's up to you.
3
Add one diced onion and one diced bell pepper to the pan.
4
Cook the vegetables down for about five minutes until they start to soften up.
5
Season with a little bit of salt, some pepper, plenty of garlic powder, some Italian seasoning, and some crushed red pepper flakes.
6
Squeeze in a few tablespoons of tomato paste.
7
Fry down the tomato paste for about three or four minutes.
8
Pour in one 8-ounce jar of tomato sauce.
9
Add two and a half cups of beef stock.
10
Pour in about a cup of heavy cream.
11
Once the mixture starts to boil, add 8 ounces of rigatoni pasta, or any short pasta you like.
12
Stir the pasta into the sauce.
13
Cover the pan with a lid and put it down on a simmer.
14
Stir it every once in a while and let it cook for about 12 minutes until the noodles are done.

Once your pasta is done, pull it off the heat and let it stand for a couple of minutes to thicken the sauce.
