White Bean and Sausage Rigatoni

Ingredients

8 oz rigatoni (I used fusili instead)

1 15-ounce can white kidney (cannelini) beans

1 14.5 ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained

6 ounces cooked smoked turkey sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/3 cup chopped fresh basil

1/4 cup finely shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese

Preparation

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; return pasta to saucepan.

2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan combine beans, undrained tomatoes, and sausage. Cook and stir until heated through. Add bean mixture and basil to pasta; stir gently to combine. To serve, sprinkle each serving with Asiago cheese.

Enjoy.
