Easy Rigatoni RECIPE

Here is a tasty recipe in the Prevention Magazine's "eat up slim down" cookbook by Jane Kirby, RD and David Joachim:

Easy Rigatoni

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
8 oz rigatoni
2 Tbsp (1/2 oz) grated Parmesan cheese

Warm oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook 10 minutes or until tender. Add tomato paste and cook 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, cook rigatoni according to package directions. Drain. Toss with sauce. Serve with cheese. Makes 4 servings.

Sometimes I add 1 lb browned ground beef to the sauce (so then nutritional information is incorrect).
