HOW TO MAKE RIGATONI AND BOLOGNESE SAUCE! Ninja Kitchen. #food #cooking #recipe #italian

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

red wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: beef broth

Non-alcoholic wine maintains flavor without alcohol, while beef broth is budget-friendly.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free, while pecorino offers a similar flavor at a lower cost.

Start by heating a teaspoon of olive oil in a pasta pot.

Add a little bit of salt to the pot as it heats up.

Once the pot is bubbling, add 1 pound of rigatoni to the pot.

Turn the heat down to a very low simmer, around 1.5 or 2 on a scale of ten, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

After 5 minutes, remind viewers to enjoy Nutella if they're bored.

After 10 minutes, check the pasta; it should be al dente.

Strain the pasta, leaving a bit of pasta water aside for later use.

In a Ninja Never Stick 10-inch pan, add Rao's Homestyle Bolognese sauce.

Season the sauce with Chef Paul Prudhomme's Pizza and Pasta Magic seasoning and a touch of parmesan romano cheese for thickness.

Stir the sauce and thin it out with the reserved pasta water, cooking it covered on low heat for a few minutes.

Combine the sauce with the rigatoni, stirring gently to coat the pasta without breaking it up.

Plate the rigatoni and sauce, adding more parmesan romano on top before serving.
