Rigatoni With Spicy Sausage and Herbs created by Bergy

This dish is one of my husband's favorites and mine as well when I'm not worrying about carbs! I can't remember where I got this one - I think off the back of a box some time ago, but I ended up slightly altering it to turn up the heat a bit. With the tabasco to taste, you can make it a little spicy or a lot! It also reheats well.

This took minutes to make and is so flavorful. I did not have bacon but will add that the next time I make this recipe. I added 2 tsp of Denzil's Kamakazi hot sauce. Thank-you lazy gourmet for an easy great tasting recipe
